Festive bookings around Putney
Putney is about 1 mile south-west of Fulham, in Greater London. Bookings in Putney come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve 764 places across Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Putney to London (about 6 miles away).
The A3 and B306 make Putney easy to reach on a dark winter evening. A winter fair at a school like Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
We serve Christmas parties across SW15, SW19 and SW13 and the streets around it. Local streets include Putney High Street, Upper Richmond Road and Spencer Walk; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Putney sits on or near the A3 and B306, which makes travel to your Christmas party easy. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Roehampton (1 mile south-west), Barnes (1 mile north-west), Fulham (1 mile north-east), Mortlake (2 miles west) and Wimbledon Park (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles north-east), City of Westminster (5 miles north-east), Marylebone (5 miles north-east), Kensington (3 miles north), St Pancras (6 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Putney Exchange (under half a mile east) and Antique Breadboard Museum (under half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Henman Hill and Battersea Park Lake.
- Schools near Putney include Putney School of Art and Design (within half a mile east) and ARK Putney Academy (0.6 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Railway pub (less than half a mile south-east)
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Putney can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or SW15 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Common questions in Putney
Is parking a problem for the van in Putney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Bishops Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Putney.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Occasions we serve in Putney
It suits shift teams who can’t all go out together.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Christmas markets and fairs
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Festive open days
- Staff Christmas parties
A Christmas fair at Polish Church of St John the Evangelist is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
