About our Christmas party fish and chips in Heron Quays
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and end-of-year club parties, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
London Christmas parties in Heron Quays are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Heron Quays
Is parking a problem for the van in Heron Quays?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Heron Quays?
Heron Quays has its own station: Canary Wharf station.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Do you cover Heron Quays?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Heron Quays and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Heron Quays is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why us?

For anyone getting the train home after the party, there is a station right in Heron Quays: Canary Wharf station. A winter fair at a school like Seven Mills Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- December Fridays go first: book early
Park the van close to the door.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
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.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
