About our Christmas party fish and chips in Widmore
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and christmas socials for clubs.
Around Widmore, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
When service is finished, we pack up.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Widmore is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Christmas catering near Widmore
Widmore is about 1 mile east of Bromley, in Greater London. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Widmore or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Widmore is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
If people are coming by rail, Bickley station is in Widmore itself. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Bullers Wood School for Boys, suit a chip van. Widmore is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Local streets include Golf Road, The Avenue and Canon Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Widmore questions
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
