Planning a Christmas party in Honor Oak
Honor Oak is about 2 miles south-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Anywhere in SE23, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Francesca Cabrini Primary School, suit a chip van. If a church like Church of St Augustine is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
Here we cover the SE23, SE22 and SE4 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Rye Road, Ewart Road and Bovill Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Honor Oak in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Honor Oak questions
What’s the nearest station to Honor Oak?
Honor Oak has its own station: Honor Oak Park station.
Could you trade in Peckham Rye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Honor Oak.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Honor Oak 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 booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- 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
