Christmas party fish and chips in Ashford Common, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Whether it’s end-of-year customer events and PTA Christmas events, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In Ashford Common, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. December in Ashford Common means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?

Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
