Christmas party fish and chips in St Johns, fried fresh
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and festive gatherings after Christmas.
Around St Johns, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan cover for the queue
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in St Johns
What’s the nearest station to St Johns?
St Johns station, in St Johns itself.
What about parking in St Johns?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is normally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in St Johns
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, St Johns is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
