Festive bookings around Little Woodcote
Little Woodcote is about 2 miles west of Purley, in Greater London. We take a fish and chip van for your Christmas party to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Little Woodcote and nearby villages. Little Woodcote is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
A Christmas fair at St. Patrick's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like Woodmansterne Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Little Woodcote questions
Which station is closest to Little Woodcote?
Woodmansterne station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Little Woodcote?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van come to Little Woodcote?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Little Woodcote and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Little Woodcote is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
