Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Manor House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 usually the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Manor House by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

- We check the route in and send a price.
