How our Christmas party fish and chips works in St Helier
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas fairs at schools, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Around St Helier, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in St Helier, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check the van can park on site
Park the van close to the door.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Questions from St Helier
Can the van park in Morden Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to St Helier?
Sutton Common station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
St Helier is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
