Planning an event in Norbury?
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Christmas party fish and chips in Norbury, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and we’re often booked for end-of-year customer events and end-of-year club parties.
Around Norbury, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In December, it is dark in Norbury by 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Norbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
