How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Holloway
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. For christmas family parties and lights switch-on events, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Holloway, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

- 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
