Christmas party fish and chips for Roundshaw events
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Roundshaw is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve

Christmas party fish and chips in Roundshaw, fried fresh
The van parks outside and serves hot food. We are often asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and family Christmas get-togethers, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For Christmas parties in Roundshaw, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Roundshaw questions
Can the van park in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Roundshaw?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. December in Roundshaw means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Book as early as possible for December
Afterwards, we pack up.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Cannot 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 nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
