Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in East Village
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are often asked to cater christmas customer days and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Around East Village, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

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 don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Planning a Christmas party in East Village
East Village is about 1 mile north-west of Stratford, in Greater London. Anywhere in E15, we can fry fresh for your guests. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Eleutherius draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Chobham Academy, hot fish and chips goes down well.
This part of Greater London takes in E15, E20 and E9, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Angel Lane, Major Road and Forbes Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside East Village, we also cover Temple Mills (1 mile north-west), Stratford (1 mile south-east), Maryland (1 mile south-east), Hackney Wick (1 mile south-west) and Holloway Down (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (5 miles south-west), City of Westminster (7 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles south-west).
A little further out are V&A East (less than half a mile south-west) and County Borough of West Ham (0.7 miles south-east). Open spaces near East Village include Tower Hill and Old Ford Island.
- Nearby schools include Colegrave Primary School (0.5 miles east) and Eton Manor Boys' Club (0.5 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Cow pub (within half a mile south)
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Collect allergies in advance
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Check the van can park on site
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in East Village; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
