DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Albany Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Festive bookings around Albany Park
Albany Park is about 2 miles south-east of Eltham, in Greater London. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Albany Park, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Albany Park is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Albany Park to London (10 miles away).
A Christmas fair at St Lawrence church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Birkbeck Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Albany Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Streets in the area include Elm Road, Main Road and Back Road, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

For event organisers in Albany Park
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. December in Albany Park means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
