How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Camberwell
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas customer days, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Camberwell, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

More for events in Camberwell
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen needed

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. December in Camberwell means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price

Space, access and the venue

- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Camberwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Camberwell
What’s the nearest station to Camberwell?
Denmark Hill station, in Camberwell itself.
Can the van park in Brunswick Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover Camberwell?
We do. Camberwell is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
