Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Christmas party fish and chips in Deptford, fried fresh
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year customer events and club and society Christmas socials.
In Deptford, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Questions from Deptford
Can the van park in Sue Godfrey Nature Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Deptford?
Deptford station, in Deptford itself.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Deptford?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
