Christmas party fish and chips for Spitalfields events

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

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 nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Spitalfields

For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We’re often asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and office Christmas parties, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

For Christmas parties in Spitalfields, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How the day works

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. An afternoon Christmas party in Spitalfields can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

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
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A short walk from the party

As a London location, Spitalfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
