Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Muswell Hill
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and festive family gatherings, with curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
For Christmas parties in Muswell Hill, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, it is dark in Muswell Hill by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Muswell Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
