Christmas party fish and chips in Maryland, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for festive family gatherings and new Year parties.
London Christmas parties in Maryland are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in Maryland
What about parking in Maryland?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Events we cater in Maryland
There is no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
In Maryland and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Christmas family parties
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- Christmas fairs at schools
- Christmas socials for clubs
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Stratford Circus, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Before booking anyone
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- VAT, if it applies
- Whether there is a minimum
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For event organisers in Maryland
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
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. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
