Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Questions from Hackbridge
Could you trade in Cranmer Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hackbridge?
The closest is Mitcham Eastfields station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Hackbridge; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
