How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Cricklewood
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We’re often asked to cater staff Christmas parties and festive open days, serving sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In Cricklewood, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Cricklewood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
