Christmas catering near Oakleigh Park
Oakleigh Park is about 2 miles south-east of Barnet, in Greater London.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Oakleigh Park
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Typical bookings include christmas socials for clubs and new Year parties, with mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy.
Around Oakleigh Park, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Oakleigh Park 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Oakleigh Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Oakleigh Park?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
When should we book for December?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it’s dark in Oakleigh Park 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.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
