Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Augustine draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Boniface RC Primary School, suit a chip van.

Tooting: your questions answered
Can the van park in Wandle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Tooting?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
- 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
