Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in South Hampstead in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

South Hampstead questions
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in South Hampstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to South Hampstead?
We do. We serve events in South Hampstead and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
South Hampstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
