Christmas party fish and chips in Angel, fried fresh
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for club and society Christmas socials and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In Angel, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No surprises in your quote
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, it is dark in Angel by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Where the van can park in Angel
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Angel 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the van can park on site
- December Fridays go first: book early
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Angel questions
Can the van park in Barnard Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Angel?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
