How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Crockhurst Street
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it’s depot Christmas treats and christmas socials for clubs, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a small place like Crockhurst Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Where the van can park in Crockhurst Street
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Crockhurst Street
Do you come out to small places like Crockhurst Street?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Crockhurst Street from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
