Christmas party fish and chips for Fish Island events
Christmas party fish and chips in Fish Island, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Around Fish Island, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Common questions in Fish Island
Which station is closest to Fish Island?
Fish Island has its own station: Hackney Wick station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Fish Island?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

For event organisers in Fish Island
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Fish Island is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
