How our Christmas party fish and chips works in St Giles
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Whether it’s depot Christmas treats and family Christmas get-togethers, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
In St Giles, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Plan your Christmas party in St Giles around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, St Giles is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
