Planning a Christmas party in Bayswater
Bayswater is about 1 mile north-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Bookings in Bayswater come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Bayswater is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is London Paddington station, about 0.9 miles north-east. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Fox Primary School, suit a chip van.
Anywhere in W2, W8 and W11, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Dukes Lane, Salem Road and Aubrey Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Bayswater sits on or near the A4204 and A4206, which makes travel to your Christmas party easy. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Westbourne (1 mile north), Westbourne Green (1 mile north), Little Venice (1 mile north-east), Paddington (1 mile north-east) and Paddington Green (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles east), St Pancras (3 miles east), Shoreditch (5 miles east), Walthamstow (9 miles north-east), Hoxton (5 miles east) and Whitechapel (5 miles east).

Common questions in Bayswater
What about parking in Bayswater?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Bayswater?
London Paddington station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you bring everything you need?
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?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Bayswater can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- We start with a few details 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

A chip van compared with other options
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Something for guests to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
