How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Lea Bridge questions
Could you trade in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Lea Bridge?
The closest is Clapton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Plan your Christmas party in Lea Bridge around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
