Christmas party fish and chips in Carpenders Park, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. We are frequently asked to cater lights switch-on events and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
For Christmas parties in Carpenders Park, 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. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Carpenders Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. December in Carpenders Park means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
