Christmas party fish and chips in Petersham

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Petersham

A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. For christmas lunches for shift teams and new Year parties, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.

London Christmas parties in Petersham are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

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.

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Petersham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

FAQs for Petersham

What’s the nearest station to Petersham?

St Margarets (London) station, about 0.9 miles north-west of the centre.

What about parking in Petersham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Can you serve in the cold?

The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What areas do you cover?

We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

How the day works

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December in Petersham means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

How to prepare

Petersham in December: what to know

Petersham is about 1 mile south of Richmond, in Greater London. People in Petersham book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Petersham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Petersham to London (10 miles away).

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Peter's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as The Russell Primary School, suit a chip van.

Here we cover the TW10 and TW1 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Sandy Lane, River Lane and Arosa Road, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Richmond (1 mile north), Ham (1 mile south), Eel Pie Island (1 mile west), St Margarets (1 mile north-west) and Strawberry Hill (1 mile south-west).
