Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Brands Hill
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. For festive gatherings after Christmas and depot Christmas treats, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
In winter near Brands Hill, we need firm ground and light. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Questions from Brands Hill
How far is Brands Hill from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. An afternoon Christmas party in Brands Hill can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
