Christmas party fish and chips for Isle of Dogs events

Christmas party fish and chips in Isle of Dogs, fried fresh

The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Whether it is festive open days and staff Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.

Around Isle of Dogs, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Space, access and the venue

If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

Isle of Dogs 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 will advise.

What we serve

  • Pie and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Gravy
  • Haddock and chips

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Keep the queue dry
  • December Fridays go first: book early
  • Agree the spot with the venue

Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

For event organisers in Isle of Dogs

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What a fish and chip van costs

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Access and parking
  • How many people are eating
  • Any minimum charge
  • Distance and any road charges

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Where the event is
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Common questions in Isle of Dogs

What about parking in Isle of Dogs?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

Could you trade in Mudchute Park and Farm?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

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 send a photo if you can.

Can the van come to Isle of Dogs?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Isle of Dogs and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Do you cater Christmas fairs?

Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.

Is the fish gluten-free?

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.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Isle of Dogs?

A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Why us?

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Bookings across Greater London, including Isle of Dogs

See how we price and our guide to van hire costs.

How the day works

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, it is dark in Isle of Dogs by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Isle of Dogs in December: what to know
