Christmas party fish and chips for Perry Vale events
Christmas party fish and chips in Perry Vale, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive family gatherings and club and society Christmas socials.
For Christmas parties in Perry Vale, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Plan lighting near the hatch
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Perry Vale: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Perry Vale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Mayow Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Perry Vale.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen needed
- No surprises in your quote
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Perry Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
