How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Cannon Hill
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for depot Christmas treats and lights switch-on events.
For Christmas parties in Cannon Hill, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Plan your Christmas party in Cannon Hill around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

For event organisers in Cannon Hill
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Cannon Hill 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’ll advise before booking.
