A chip van near Bermondsey

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Bermondsey

A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-year customer events and christmas socials for clubs, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

For Christmas parties in Bermondsey, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Plan lighting near the hatch
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Ask about allergies on the party invitation

Send people out in groups in the cold.

FAQs for Bermondsey

What’s the nearest station to Bermondsey?

The closest is London Bridge station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

Is parking a problem for the van in Bermondsey?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

When should we book for December?

Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.

What time is best for food?

Early in the evening typically works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Where the van can park in Bermondsey

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A spot near your guests

Bermondsey is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

How it works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. December in Bermondsey means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Clear the route for the van
