Christmas party fish and chips in Limehouse, fried fresh

Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Whether it is christmas socials for clubs and christmas fairs at schools, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.

London Christmas parties in Limehouse are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Limehouse in December: what to know

Limehouse is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. People in Limehouse book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.

Limehouse is on or near the A126, so we can reach it easily in winter. A winter fair at a school like Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

For Christmas parties in E14, E3 and E1, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Oak Lane, Bale Road and Wharf Lane, wherever the van can park. Limehouse sits on or near the A126, so getting the van to your Christmas party is simple. Other places close to Limehouse we cover include Bow Common (1 mile east), Mile End (1 mile north), Ratcliff (1 mile south-west), Stepney (1 mile west) and Shadwell (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles west), Marylebone (5 miles west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Walthamstow (5 miles north).

A little further out are Holy Trinity (0.9 miles north-west) and Museum of the Book (under half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.

Schools near Limehouse include St Paul's Way Trust School (less than half a mile north-east) and Stepney Green Mathematics and Computing College (0.5 miles west)
Nearby, you’ll find Star Of The East Public House (less than half a mile south-east)

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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.

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Common questions in Limehouse

What about parking in Limehouse?

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

Which station is closest to Limehouse?

Limehouse has its own station: Limehouse station.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Will the weather be a problem?

We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.

What time is best for food?

At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.

What does the van need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Do you clear up afterwards?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Can you come to our office Christmas party?

We do. Send us your date and site details.

Our booking checklist

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

Check the van can park on site
Send round an allergy question
Plan lighting near the hatch
Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.

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

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

Your choice of menu
The day of the week
Any minimum charge
How long we serve

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

Dietary needs, with numbers
A photo of the parking spot
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Where you’d like the van to go

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

A route in without tight gates or low branches
The site’s agreement to a catering van
Lighting nearby for evening events

As a London location, Limehouse is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 before booking.

How it works

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. December in Limehouse means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
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.
Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
