About our Christmas party fish and chips in Woolwich
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Whether it is staff Christmas parties and end-of-year customer events, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For Christmas parties in Woolwich, 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Woolwich 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
