Christmas party fish and chips in Eastcote, cooked to order

The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Whether it’s school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas socials for clubs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

For Christmas parties in Eastcote, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Eastcote: your questions answered

What about parking in Eastcote?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

How early do Christmas dates go?

As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.

Can you serve in the cold?

Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.

The process

There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, it’s dark in Eastcote by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. First, tell us about your Christmas party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us a contact for the day

Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Choosing a fish and chip van

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Any minimum charge
  • Access and parking
  • Distance and any road charges

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and serving time

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

As a London location, Eastcote is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
