About our Christmas party fish and chips in West Hackney
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
For Christmas parties in West Hackney, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
