Choosing a fish and chip van

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

Why book with us

About the food

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

How it works

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Herne Hill, so put the van where there’s good light.

  1. You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
  3. Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
  5. We clear our spot and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Share the timings for the day
