Christmas party fish and chips for Emerson Park events

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Emerson Park

The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. We are often asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.

In Emerson Park, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

What happens on the day

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Emerson Park around the dark: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

  1. We start with a few details 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. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Share the timings for the day

Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Emerson Park?

Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.

Here are some of the occasions we serve in Emerson Park and Greater London:

  • Club and society Christmas socials
  • Office Christmas parties
  • Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
  • Christmas fairs at schools

If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Nelmes Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

What your quote should include

  • The deposit and payment dates
  • Whether travel is included
  • What they can offer for dietary needs
  • If the price includes VAT

Our booking checklist

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

Emerson Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
