What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Chelsea Harbour is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Chelsea Harbour can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Chelsea Harbour questions
Which station is closest to Chelsea Harbour?
Chelsea Harbour has its own station: Imperial Wharf station.
Can the van park in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
For event organisers in Chelsea Harbour
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
