How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Force Green

The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for end-of-year customer events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.

In Force Green, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

15 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Force Green

Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

What about parking in Force Green?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Is grass a problem?

Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you cover Force Green?

We do. We serve events in Force Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

When do Christmas bookings fill up?

As soon as you have a date.

Do you do work Christmas parties?

Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What the van needs

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

Force Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Numbers
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The length of service

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The venue or postcode
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

How the day works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Force Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

How to get a price

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • December Fridays go first: book early
  • Send allergies to us in writing

For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.

Crackers on the tables finish it off.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
