How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. An afternoon Christmas party in Farthing Street can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Farthing Street
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. We are frequently asked to cater staff Christmas parties and christmas markets and fairs, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
For Christmas parties in Farthing Street, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Farthing Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Farthing Street
Can the van park in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Farthing Street?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
