What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. It gets dark in Chelsea by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What else we do in Chelsea
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Chelsea. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Something for guests to gather round
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Common questions in Chelsea
Can the van park in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Chelsea?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What affects the price in Chelsea
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies in advance
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
