Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Edmonton, fried fresh

Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and staff Christmas parties.

In Upper Edmonton, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Choose a lit spot for the van

Send people out in groups.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Why us?

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Classic food your guests already know
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • We cover Upper Edmonton and the whole of Greater London

Upper Edmonton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Upper Edmonton questions

What about parking in Upper Edmonton?

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

Could you trade in Pymmes Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.

Do you do work Christmas parties?

Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Will the weather be a problem?

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

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

  • The minimum booking
