Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Longlands
Which station is closest to Longlands?
New Eltham station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
What about parking in Longlands?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Christmas catering near Longlands
Longlands is about 1 mile west of Sidcup, in Greater London. Christmas parties in Longlands are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Longlands Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. A Christmas fair at Christ Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Longlands, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Wherever your Christmas party is in DA15, DA14 and SE9, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Main Road, Alder Road and Sidcup Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A211 close by, Longlands is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Foxbury (1 mile south), New Eltham (1 mile north-west), Chislehurst (1 mile south-west), Coldharbour (1 mile west) and Blackfen (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to London (9 miles north-west), City of Westminster (12 miles north-west), Marylebone (12 miles north-west), Kensington (13 miles west), St Pancras (11 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-west).

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Keep the queue dry
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Longlands 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
