Christmas party fish and chips for Vanbrugh Park Estate events

Christmas party fish and chips in Vanbrugh Park Estate, cooked to order

It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. We’re frequently asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and club and society Christmas socials, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

In Vanbrugh Park Estate, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Numbers
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The minimum booking

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Where the event is
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Send us the date, the address or SE3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in Vanbrugh Park Estate

Could you trade in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?

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

What about parking in Vanbrugh Park Estate?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Does the batter contain gluten?

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

When should we eat?

Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

What do we need to supply?

Perfect for your Christmas party in Vanbrugh Park Estate

The van keeps cooking in any weather.

In Vanbrugh Park Estate and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

  • Christmas lunches for shift teams
  • Christmas customer days
  • New Year parties
  • Work Christmas parties

A winter fair at a school like Wildwood Montessori School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The service time, and the cost of running over
  • When final numbers are due
  • VAT, if it applies
  • The cancellation terms

15 questions to ask before booking

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

The process

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In December, it is dark in Vanbrugh Park Estate by 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.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Make sure the van can get in

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Keep the queue dry

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
