How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Maida Vale
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive family gatherings and christmas markets and fairs.
For Christmas parties in Maida Vale, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Maida Vale in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
