About our Christmas party fish and chips in Seven Kings
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. For christmas fairs at schools and end-of-year customer events, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Around Seven Kings, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or IG3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Seven Kings in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Seven Kings in December: what to know
Seven Kings is about 2 miles north of Barking, in Greater London. Seven Kings is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Seven Kings is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
If a church like St John the Evangelist is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. With the A118 nearby, December journeys to Seven Kings are straightforward.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Seven Kings is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan cover for the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
Afterwards, we pack up.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Questions from Seven Kings
Can the van park in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Seven Kings?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you come to Seven Kings?
We do. Seven Kings is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
