Christmas party fish and chips in Sutton, fried fresh
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We are frequently asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and christmas customer days, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For Christmas parties in Sutton, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Sutton: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Sutton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Manor Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Sutton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in Sutton by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
