What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Christmas party fish and chips in Woodcote Green, cooked to order

December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Popular choices include gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and PTA Christmas events.

For Christmas parties in Woodcote Green, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Christmas parties in Woodcote Green: local tips

Woodcote Green is about 1 mile west of Purley, in Greater London. People in Woodcote Green book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover 764 places in Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.

Christmas fairs at a church such as St. Patrick's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Wallington High School for Girls, suit a chip van.

This part of Greater London takes in CR8, SM6 and SM5, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Farm Lane, Elton Road and Green Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Little Woodcote (1 mile west), Woodcote (1 mile south-east), Peaks Hill (1 mile east), Roundshaw (1 mile north-east) and Russell Hill (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (11 miles north), City of Westminster (12 miles north), Marylebone (12 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (13 miles north) and Shoreditch (13 miles north).

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A short walk from the party

As a London location, Woodcote Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

From the hatch

  • Cod and chips

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How it works

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Woodcote Green; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Getting a price

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Planning help

Allergies and dietary needs

  • December Fridays go first: book early

Send people out in groups in the cold.

Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
