Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Keep the queue dry
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in East Dulwich
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. For office Christmas parties and festive family gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Around East Dulwich, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
