About our Christmas party fish and chips in Southwark
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and christmas customer days, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
London Christmas parties in Southwark are often at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Common questions in Southwark
Could you trade in Little Dorrit's Playground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Southwark?
The closest is Elephant & Castle station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Christmas catering near Southwark
Southwark is about 0 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. For Christmas parties in Southwark, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Southwark is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
For colleagues travelling by train, Elephant & Castle station, about 0.5 miles south, is the nearest station. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Charles Dickens Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Here we cover the SE1 and SE11 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Borough Square, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Tower Hill (1 mile north-east), City of London (1 mile north), Aldgate (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-east) and Barbican Estate (1 mile north).

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Quick service from the hatch
- Something for guests to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
