About our Christmas party fish and chips in Mapesbury
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for christmas markets and fairs and christmas fairs at schools.
In Mapesbury, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

FAQs for Mapesbury
Which station is closest to Mapesbury?
Wembley Stadium station, in Mapesbury itself.
Could you trade in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mapesbury.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Occasions we serve in Mapesbury
It works for teams who can’t leave site.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- PTA Christmas events
- Work Christmas parties
- Christmas family parties
- New Year parties
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Joseph's RC Infant School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Mapesbury 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’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. In December, it’s dark in Mapesbury by 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.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
