Christmas party fish and chips in New Eltham
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

FAQs for New Eltham
Can the van park in Elmstead Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to New Eltham?
New Eltham has its own station: New Eltham station.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening normally works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
