Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in West Ham
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for festive family gatherings and festive open days.
In West Ham, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Common questions in West Ham
What’s the nearest station to West Ham?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you trade in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Flag any coeliac guests
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Where the van can park in West Ham
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
West Ham 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
