How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ickenham
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Popular choices include curry sauce, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for work Christmas parties and festive gatherings after Christmas.
London Christmas parties in Ickenham are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festive lights by the van look great.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Common questions in Ickenham
Can the van park in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Ickenham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Ickenham in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price

Where the van can park in Ickenham
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Ickenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
