Book the van in Charlton
Christmas catering near Charlton
Charlton is about 2 miles west of Plumstead, in Greater London. In and around Charlton, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Charlton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Charlton to London (6 miles away).
If a church like St Catherine Labouré is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Thorntree Primary School, suit a chip van.
This part of Greater London takes in SE7 and SE18, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Floyd Road, Guild Road and Priolo Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Charlton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Plan cover for the queue
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Charlton 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
