Christmas party fish and chips in Hammill Park
Christmas party fish and chips in Hammill Park, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Typical bookings include festive open days and christmas fairs at schools, serving gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Hammill Park, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. December in Hammill Park means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You share 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Questions from Hammill Park
Do you come out to small places like Hammill Park?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hammill Park from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
