Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Christmas catering near Bapchild
Bapchild is about 2 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Wherever your Christmas party is in the ME9 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Bapchild to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Rodmersham School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Nicholas can book the van as a hot-food stall. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Bapchild; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Book as early as possible for December
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Festive lights by the van look great.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In December, it’s dark in Bapchild by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
