Book the van in Cooper Street
Christmas party fish and chips in Cooper Street, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For new Year parties and lights switch-on events, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
Near Cooper Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Park the van close to the door.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Common questions in Cooper Street
Is Cooper Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Cooper Street close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. December in Cooper Street means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
