How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. In December, it’s dark in Pitshanger by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Pitshanger 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 you book.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips

Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Pitshanger?
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so fish and chips is a welcome change.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Festive family gatherings
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- Christmas customer days
- Club and society Christmas socials
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like North Ealing Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Questions from Pitshanger

Castle Bar Park station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Castle Bar Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
