Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, it is dark in City of Westminster by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Common questions in City of Westminster
Is parking a problem for the van in City of Westminster?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Hyde Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cover City of Westminster?
We do. City of Westminster is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is usually wise. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in City of Westminster?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
