Christmas party fish and chips in Hadley Wood, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for end-of-year customer events and end-of-year club parties.
For Christmas parties in Hadley Wood, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Hadley Wood questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Hadley Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Hadley Wood 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’ll advise.
