Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Lisson Grove questions
What about parking in Lisson Grove?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Lisson Grove?
London Marylebone station, in Lisson Grove itself.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you come to Lisson Grove?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Lisson Grove and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. December in Lisson Grove means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready

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. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A quote that spells everything out

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

Cod and chips

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
