How our Christmas party fish and chips works in East Wickham
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For festive family gatherings and club and society Christmas socials, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
London Christmas parties in East Wickham are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Where the van can park in East Wickham
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, East Wickham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. December in East Wickham means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or DA16 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
