About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bow
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it’s christmas customer days and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, we can cook haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
For Christmas parties in Bow, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

- Flag any coeliac guests

For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
