Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Chinatown
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for club and society Christmas socials and christmas fairs at schools.
London Christmas parties in Chinatown are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning a Christmas party in Chinatown
Chinatown is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. People in Chinatown book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School, suit a chip van. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Anne's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall.
Christmas parties anywhere in W1F, W1D and W1T start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Whether your Christmas party is on Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bruton Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Main roads around Chinatown include the A4 and A301, so getting the van to your Christmas party is simple. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Soho (1 mile north), St James's (1 mile south), West End (1 mile north-east), Seven Dials (1 mile north-east) and St Giles (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (3 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east) and Hampstead (4 miles north-west).
A little further out are St James Workhouse (less than half a mile north-west) and Leverian collection (within half a mile south-east). Open spaces near Chinatown include Barnsbury Wood and St. James's Park Lake.
- Local schools include LITE Regal International School (0.6 miles west) and Harris Westminster Sixth Form (0.8 miles south)
- Local pubs include Waxy O'Connor's pub (less than half a mile south-west)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include London Library (within half a mile south-west) and Westminster St James (under half a mile south-west)

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Chinatown
Can the van park in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Chinatown?
Tottenham Court Road station, in Chinatown itself.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Chinatown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
Afterwards, we pack up.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. An afternoon Christmas party in Chinatown 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 the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
