How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Eltham

Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For lights switch-on events and depot Christmas treats, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.

Around Eltham, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Eltham

Can the van park in Horn Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What about parking in Eltham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

What if it’s raining or freezing?

The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Should I sort the food myself?

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Step by step

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Eltham; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
