Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

London Docklands questions
Which station is closest to London Docklands?
London Docklands has its own station: Canary Wharf station.
What about parking in London Docklands?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
