- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Millbank is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Millbank
Is parking a problem for the van in Millbank?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Millbank?
London Victoria station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Millbank 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
