How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Plaistow
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. We are frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and new Year parties, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Plaistow, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Plaistow
Which station is closest to Plaistow?
Sundridge Park station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Plaistow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
For event organisers in Plaistow
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Plaistow in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
