Planning a Christmas party in Tulse Hill

Tulse Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Streatham, in Greater London. Anywhere in SW2, we can fry fresh for your guests. Tulse Hill is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Holy Trinity Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls, suit a chip van.

Here we cover the SW2, SE24 and SE27 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. From Ostade Road, Medora Road and Palace Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Tulse Hill is on the A204, which makes the journey straightforward. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Streatham Hill (1 mile south-west), Brixton (1 mile north-west), Clapham Park (1 mile north-west), Hyde farm estate (1 mile west) and Streatham (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles north), City of Westminster (5 miles north), Marylebone (5 miles north), Kensington (6 miles north-west), St Pancras (6 miles north) and Shoreditch (6 miles north).

Well-known places in the area include Dulwich Community Hospital (1.5 miles north-east) and Streatham Hill (0.7 miles south-west). The countryside around Tulse Hill includes Knight's Hill and Battersea Park Lake.

  • Nearby schools include Fenstanton Primary School (within half a mile south-west) and Tulse Hill School (under half a mile west)
  • Nearby, you’ll find The Commercial pub (0.6 miles north-east)

Where the van can park in Tulse Hill

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

As a London location, Tulse Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we serve

  • Gravy
  • Haddock and chips

How it works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In December, it is dark in Tulse Hill by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. First, tell us about your Christmas party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Ask for a quote

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Tulse Hill

Is parking a problem for the van in Tulse Hill?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Could you trade in Belair Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What time is best for food?

Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.

Can you serve in the cold?

The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Any minimum charge
  • How easy the site is to reach

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Where the van would park
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Roughly how many people, including children

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your Christmas party in Tulse Hill, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: 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 bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy 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
