DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

A chip van compared with other options
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

- Hot food handed straight over
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Bookings across Greater London, including Gallows Corner

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Questions from Gallows Corner
What about parking in Gallows Corner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Gallows Corner?
The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
How long are you on site?

How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
