Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Soho
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Whether it’s club and society Christmas socials and end-of-year customer events, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Soho, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Soho is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

A chip van compared with other options
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Soho
Which station is closest to Soho?
Soho has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
What about parking in Soho?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
When should we eat?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
When should we book for December?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Do you clear up afterwards?

Soho in December: what to know
Soho is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. In and around Soho, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. Soho is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Anne's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Soho is on or near the A4 and A301, so we can reach it easily in winter.
Wherever your Christmas party is in W1F, W1T and W1D, we can fry fresh for your guests. Streets in the area include Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Soho is on the A4 and A301, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in West End (1 mile east), Chinatown (1 mile south), Seven Dials (1 mile east), St Giles (1 mile north-east) and St James's (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Montfichet's Tower (1.3 miles east) and Westminster St James (less than half a mile south-west). The countryside around Soho includes St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
- Local schools include LITE Regal International School (0.6 miles west) and Harris Westminster Sixth Form (0.9 miles south)
- Local pubs include Bar Soho (under half a mile north)
- Other local spots include London Library (0.5 miles south-west)
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Put allergy details in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Festive lights by the van look great.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. An afternoon Christmas party in Soho can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
