Planning an event in Barkingside?
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Barkingside
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas socials for clubs.
In Barkingside, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Barkingside in December: what to know
Barkingside is about 3 miles south-east of Woodford, in Greater London. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Barkingside or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Barkingside is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Barkingside to London (10 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Seven Kings station, roughly 1.6 miles south of the centre. A winter fair at a school like Avanti Court Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Check the van can park on site
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Barkingside in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
