Christmas party fish and chips in Harmondsworth, fried fresh

The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We’re often asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and family Christmas get-togethers, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

For Christmas parties in Harmondsworth, 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. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

How to compare vans

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why book with us

  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Take a look at how we price or our guide to van hire costs.

What affects the price in Harmondsworth

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Access and parking
  • The minimum booking
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Distance and any road charges

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

What happens on the day

We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, it’s dark in Harmondsworth by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Christmas parties in Harmondsworth: local tips

Harmondsworth is about 1 mile south-west of West Drayton, in Greater London. Wherever your Christmas party is in the UB7 area, we can bring the van to you. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Harmondsworth to London (17 miles away).

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Harmondsworth Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

We take the van to Christmas parties all over UB7 and TW6 and the streets around it. Local streets include Moor Lane, Hatch Lane and High Street; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Longford (1 mile south-west), Sipson (1 mile north-east), Heathrow (2 miles south-east), Harlington (2 miles east) and Stanwell (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (14 miles east), Marylebone (14 miles east), Kensington (12 miles east), Hampstead (14 miles east), Ruislip (7 miles north-east) and Brompton (14 miles east).

A little further out are British Airways Heritage Collection (3.5 miles north) and Harlington (1.4 miles east). Open spaces near Harmondsworth include Crane Meadows and Staines Reservoirs.

  • Local schools include Harlington Community School (2 miles east)
  • Nearby, you’ll find The Five Bells Inn (under half a mile north)

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
