Christmas party fish and chips in Strand-on-the-Green, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy, and we are often booked for warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas fairs at schools.
For Christmas parties in Strand-on-the-Green, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Strand-on-the-Green
Can the van park in Kew Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Strand-on-the-Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.
Can the van come to Strand-on-the-Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Strand-on-the-Green is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Strand-on-the-Green 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’ll tell you honestly.

- End-of-year customer events
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- PTA Christmas events
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
A winter fair at a school like Strand-on-the-Green Infant and Nursery School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Questions to ask before you book
- How many hours the van serves
- If the price includes VAT
- How allergens are handled
- When payment is due
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 generally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
