For a Christmas party near Bexon, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. An afternoon Christmas party in Bexon can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John the Baptist draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

FAQs for Bexon
Can the van park in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
