How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Colliers Wood?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Colliers Wood; park the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
