About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wimbledon
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and festive gatherings after Christmas.
London Christmas parties in Wimbledon are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Tell us about lighting and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Wimbledon in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Wimbledon questions
Can the van park in Cannizaro Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Wimbledon?
Wimbledon has its own station: Wimbledon station.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Planning a Christmas party in Wimbledon
Wimbledon is about 7 miles south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Wimbledon. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Wimbledon to London (about 7 miles away).
For colleagues travelling by train, there’s a station right in Wimbledon: Wimbledon station. A winter fair at a school like Wimbledon High School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Confirm allergies by email
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Wimbledon 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.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
