Christmas party fish and chips in Holborn
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Holborn
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for club and society Christmas socials and festive open days.
For Christmas parties in Holborn, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Holborn: your questions answered
Could you trade in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Holborn?
Holborn has its own station: Farringdon station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can the van come to Holborn?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Holborn is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
Holborn is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce

Why choose a fish and chip van in Holborn?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Holborn in December: what to know
Holborn is about 2 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. People in Holborn book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Holborn is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
A winter fair at a school like St Alban's Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If a church like St Alban's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over WC1X, WC1N and EC1R and the streets around it.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
