About our Christmas party fish and chips in Upton
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for PTA Christmas events and new Year parties.
In Upton, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the van can park on site
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Upton 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
