Our booking checklist

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Kew

The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and end-of-year customer events.

Around Kew, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
  • Check the van can park on site

Plan cover for the queue.

Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

What the van needs

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A spot near your guests
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Kew is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Kew: your questions answered

What about parking in Kew?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.

Could you trade in Kew Green?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

When do you arrive?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Do you have allergen information?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

About the food

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

What affects the price in Kew

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Any minimum charge
  • Your choice of menu
  • The day of the week

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Kew? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

Should I sort the food myself?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Step by step

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Kew; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.

  1. First, tell us about your Christmas party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
