Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Clapham Park
Is parking a problem for the van in Clapham Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Agree the spot with the venue
Send people out in groups.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For event organisers in Clapham Park
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Perfect for your Christmas party in Clapham Park
Few things beat hot fish and chips in December, served fast.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Lights switch-on events
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
A winter fair at a school like Glenbrook Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Clapham Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
