Christmas party fish and chips in Crossness, fried fresh
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and festive family gatherings, serving cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Around Crossness, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Crossness, so put the van where there’s good light.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat

Crossness in December: what to know
Crossness is about 2 miles north-west of Erith, in Greater London. From the centre of Crossness to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of the Cross can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like St John Fisher Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Here we cover the SE2, SE28 and DA18 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Kale Road, Haldane Road and Seacourt Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A2016 close by, Crossness is easy for us to reach with the van. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Thamesmead (1 mile north-west), Dagenham Dock (1 mile north), Barking Riverside (2 miles north-west), Hornchurch Marshes (2 miles north-east) and Dagenham Green (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles west), City of Westminster (12 miles west), Marylebone (12 miles west), Kensington (14 miles west), St Pancras (11 miles west) and Shoreditch (9 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Gallions Reach Shopping Park (2.4 miles west) and Greenwich Borough Museum (1.7 miles south-west). Open spaces near Crossness include Crossness Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Harris Garrard Academy (under half a mile south)
- Nearby, you’ll find Belvedere Working Mens Club pub (0.8 miles south-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include River (1.9 miles north-east)
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Flag any coeliac guests
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Where the van can park in Crossness
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Crossness 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 before booking.
