Planning a Christmas party in Peaks Hill
Peaks Hill is about 1 mile north-west of Purley, in Greater London. In and around Peaks Hill, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Peaks Hill to London (about 11 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Church of St Mark is just the kind of event a chip van suits. A winter fair at a school like Coloma Convent Girls' School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Wherever your Christmas party is in CR8 and SM6, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Furze Lane, Birch Lane and Plough Lane, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Peaks Hill on the A2022, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Russell Hill (1 mile north), Roundshaw (1 mile north), Woodcote (1 mile south-west), Purley (1 mile south-east) and Woodcote Green (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to London (11 miles north), City of Westminster (12 miles north), Marylebone (12 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (13 miles north) and Shoreditch (13 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include County Borough of Croydon (2.4 miles north-east) and Purley War Memorial Hospital (0.7 miles east). The countryside around Peaks Hill includes Duppas Hill and Roundshaw Downs.
- Schools near Peaks Hill include Laleham Lea School (less than half a mile north-west) and Margaret Roper Catholic Primary School (within half a mile east)
- Local pubs include The Foxley Hatch pub (0.6 miles south-east)
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your guests already know
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. December in Peaks Hill means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

- Lighting nearby for evening events
Peaks Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Peaks Hill questions
Which station is closest to Peaks Hill?
Purley station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Carshalton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
