Christmas party fish and chips in Bitchet Green
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bitchet Green
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Whether it’s festive family gatherings and office Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Bitchet Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Agree the spot with the venue
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Bitchet Green?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. 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. We’ll tell you up front.

Bitchet Green: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens on the day
