How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Northumberland Heath
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Typical bookings include christmas lunches for shift teams and new Year parties, with gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce.
Around Northumberland Heath, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Northumberland Heath questions
Could you trade in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Northumberland Heath?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

What else we do in Northumberland Heath
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
