Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Greengate?

It is relaxed and fun, and people talk about it.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Greengate book the van for events such as:

How to compare vans

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • A short walk from the party
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Greengate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In December, it’s dark in Greengate by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  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. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Clear the route for the van

Christmas parties in Greengate: local tips

Greengate is about 4 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Tell us where your Christmas party in Greengate will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Greengate is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 6 miles away.

If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Southern Road Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as St Andrew's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall.

We take the van to Christmas parties all over E13, E6 and E16 and the streets around it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on May Road, Emma Road and Cave Road, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Plaistow (1 mile south-west), Upton Park (1 mile north-east), Upton (1 mile north), West Ham (1 mile north-west) and Canning Town (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).

Nearby you’ll also find Newham University Hospital (0.5 miles south-east) and East Ham (1.3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Old Ford Island and Tower Hill.

  • Nearby schools include Lister Community School (under half a mile north) and The Service for Deaf and Partially Hearing Children (within half a mile south-east)
  • Local pubs include Coach And Horses Public House (under half a mile north-west)

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Plan cover for the queue

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.

Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

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

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Service time
  • Your choice of menu
  • Any minimum charge
  • The number of meals

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The venue or postcode

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

Common questions in Greengate

Which station is closest to Greengate?

West Ham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.

What about parking in Greengate?

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

What if it’s raining or freezing?

The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Can the van come to Greengate?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Greengate is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.

  • 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
