Step by step

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Plan your Christmas party in Canary Wharf around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf has its own station: Canary Wharf station.

Is parking a problem for the van in Canary Wharf?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Planning a Christmas party in Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf is about 2 miles north-west of Greenwich, in Greater London. For Christmas parties in Canary Wharf, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Canary Wharf. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.

A winter fair at a school like Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Peter's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

Wherever your Christmas party is in E14, SE16 and E22, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Castor Lane, Cassilis Road and Dockyard Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Main roads around Canary Wharf include the A1261, so getting the van to your Christmas party is simple. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include London Docklands (1 mile east), Poplar (1 mile north-east), Heron Quays (1 mile south-west), Coldharbour (1 mile east) and Blackwall (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (3 miles west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles north-west).

Other landmarks nearby include Poplar Hospital (0.7 miles north-east) and Greenwich Castle (2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.

  • Local schools include Tower Hamlets College (within half a mile north-east) and Canary Wharf College 3 (0.8 miles south)
  • Local pubs include The Ledger Building pub (within half a mile north-west)
  • Other local spots include Holy Trinity (1.8 miles north-west)

What affects the price in Canary Wharf

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Any minimum charge
  • How far we travel
  • How long we serve
  • Parking and the way in

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The date and time of the event

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Make sure the van and queue are well lit
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Send people out in groups in the cold.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

A chip van compared with other options

Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Why book our van in Canary Wharf

  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Bookings across Greater London, including Canary Wharf
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

See our prices page and the cost guide.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

As a London location, Canary Wharf is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

From the hatch

  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
