How our Christmas party fish and chips works in St James's
It suits teams on shifts, with service timed to each group. Typical bookings include end-of-year club parties and christmas lunches for shift teams, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Around St James's, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Check the van can park on site
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Where the van can park in St James's

FAQs for St James's
Could you trade in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in St James's?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
