Christmas party fish and chips in Bow, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is festive open days and christmas fairs at schools, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy.
For a Christmas party near Bow, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Plan your Christmas party in Bow around the dark: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Bow
Is Bow too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Bow close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
