Christmas party fish and chips in Hilden Park, fried fresh
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We’re often asked to cater PTA Christmas events and festive gatherings after Christmas, with mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In winter near Hilden Park, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Hilden Park
The van keeps cooking in any weather.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Staff Christmas parties
- Christmas markets and fairs

FAQs for Hilden Park
Is Hilden Park too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hilden Park from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What affects the price in Hilden Park
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Check the van can park on site
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
