Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

Christmas party fish and chips in The Hale, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and staff Christmas parties.
Around The Hale, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Occasions we serve in The Hale

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In The Hale, people book us for events such as:
- Festive gatherings after Christmas

A winter fair at a school like Mathilda Marks-Kennedy Jewish Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

What else we do in The Hale
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover The Hale and the whole of Greater London
- No kitchen needed
- Everything cooked to order at your event
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service.
