Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Hacton
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Whether it is christmas fairs at schools and lights switch-on events, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
For Christmas parties in Hacton, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Hacton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hacton?
The closest is Upminster station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hacton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In December, it is dark in Hacton by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
