Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in South Green
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year customer events and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
Near South Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Common questions in South Green
What’s the nearest station to South Green?
The closest is Newington station, roughly 3 miles away.
Could you trade in Stockbury Hill Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in South Green in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
