Christmas party fish and chips in Little London, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and end-of-year club parties.
In a small place like Little London, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Common questions in Little London
Do you come out to small places like Little London?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Little London close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if it is raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
