About our Christmas party fish and chips in Cranford
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We’re often asked to cater new Year parties and festive open days, serving gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In Cranford, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Cranford questions
Which station is closest to Cranford?
Hayes & Harlington station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in Hounslow Heath?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which areas do you serve?

What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Where the van can park in Cranford
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:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Cranford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
