Christmas party fish and chips in Kingston upon Thames
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about

The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for festive family gatherings and christmas socials for clubs.

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Kingston upon Thames 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.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
