The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December in Coombe Hill means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Coombe Hill

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Coombe Hill? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan cover for the queue
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
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. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Coombe 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.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
