Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Bickley
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and christmas customer days, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Around Bickley, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Bickley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

- Christmas lunches for shift teams

Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
