About our Christmas party fish and chips in The Hyde
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We serve cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are often booked for staff Christmas parties and christmas socials for clubs.
In The Hyde, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in The Hyde?
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in The Hyde book the van for occasions like:
- Christmas fairs at schools
- Festive family gatherings
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- End-of-year club parties
A Christmas fair at St Matthias the Apostle church is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
Comparing caterers

- What the price includes, item by item
- When payment is due
- What happens if plans change
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Choose a lit spot for the van
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Where the van can park in The Hyde
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
The Hyde is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in The Hyde
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
