Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Eel Pie Island
Can the van park in Marble Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Eel Pie Island?
Eel Pie Island has its own station: Twickenham station.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Eel Pie Island is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Occasions we serve in Eel Pie Island
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so fish and chips is a welcome change.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- New Year parties
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Festive open days
- Christmas family parties
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Mary's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if plans change
- Allergen information for each item
- The van’s size and access needs
- Whether travel is included
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
