How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bopeep
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and christmas fairs at schools, serving gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Around Bopeep, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Bopeep?
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- Depot Christmas treats
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Festive family gatherings
A winter fair at a school like Chelsfield Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Bopeep is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in Bopeep 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.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
