How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Bilsham?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bilsham is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In December, it’s dark in Bilsham by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
