Christmas party fish and chips for Childs Hill events
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Christmas party fish and chips in Childs Hill, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include club and society Christmas socials and end-of-year customer events, with cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In Childs Hill, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Childs Hill. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

Childs Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Childs Hill?
The closest is Cricklewood station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you trade in Childs Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Childs Hill 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.
