Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Whetstone
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas lunches for shift teams and new Year parties.
For Christmas parties in Whetstone, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Whetstone questions
What about parking in Whetstone?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Whetstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. December in Whetstone means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
