The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. It gets dark in Woodcote by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Questions from Woodcote
What about parking in Woodcote?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Dollypers Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Christmas catering near Woodcote
Woodcote is about 1 mile west of Purley, in Greater London. From the centre of Woodcote to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Woodcote to London (about 12 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Woodcote High School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Swithun's draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.
Here we cover the CR8, CR5 and SM6 postcode area. Streets in the area include Elton Road, Birch Lane and Newton Road, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Woodcote is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

When service is finished, we pack up.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

A chip van compared with other options
