Fresh fish and chips in Stoke Newington
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Stoke Newington
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We’re often asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Around Stoke Newington, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Stoke Newington questions
Which station is closest to Stoke Newington?
Stoke Newington station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Stoke Newington?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Keep the queue dry
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
