Christmas party fish and chips in Brasted Chart, cooked to order

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas family parties and end-of-year customer events.

Around Brasted Chart, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

For something other than turkey, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Why us?

  • No surprises in your quote
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • A menu almost everyone likes

Read our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

As a London location, Brasted Chart 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.

Popular choices

  • Gravy
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Curry sauce

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Make sure the van and queue are well lit
  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.

Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
