Planning a Christmas party in Pentonville
Pentonville is about 1 mile north-east of St Pancras, in Greater London. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Pentonville or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Pentonville is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.
With the A1200 nearby, December journeys to Pentonville are straightforward. A winter fair at a school like St John Evangelist RC Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, it’s dark in Pentonville by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare

Planning help
Pentonville: your questions answered
What about parking in Pentonville?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Barnard Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening typically works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
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.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

A closer look at the menu

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
