How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Mile End
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We are often asked to cater christmas lunches for shift teams and festive open days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Mile End, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Mile End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
