Christmas party fish and chips in Turnpike Lane, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We are frequently asked to cater festive family gatherings and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
London Christmas parties in Turnpike Lane are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in Turnpike Lane in late December is 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.

Questions from Turnpike Lane
Which station is closest to Turnpike Lane?
Hornsey station, in Turnpike Lane itself.
What about parking in Turnpike Lane?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Turnpike Lane?
We do. We serve events in Turnpike Lane and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Park the van close to the door.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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’s fried on the spot.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Planning the van’s spot
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:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Turnpike Lane 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
