Christmas party fish and chips in Hanworth, cooked to order
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We serve gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater new Year parties and christmas family parties.
For Christmas parties in Hanworth, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Hanworth
Could you trade in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hanworth?
Hampton station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you come to Hanworth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hanworth. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.

Before you choose a spot

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Hanworth 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.
