Christmas party fish and chips in South Lambeth, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. For club and society Christmas socials and lights switch-on events, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
London Christmas parties in South Lambeth are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

South Lambeth questions
Can the van park in Vauxhall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to South Lambeth?
Vauxhall station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, South Lambeth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
