Christmas party fish and chips in Kings Cross
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Kings Cross
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-year club parties and christmas markets and fairs, with curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips.
For Christmas parties in Kings Cross, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Kings Cross? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Kings Cross 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 will advise.

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Holy Cross Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. With the A501 and A4200 nearby, December journeys to Kings Cross are straightforward.
Anywhere in NW1W, NW1 and N1, we can bring the van to you.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Kings Cross; light the path to the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What affects the price in Kings Cross
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Bookings across Greater London, including Kings Cross
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Kings Cross: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Kings Cross?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
