Christmas party fish and chips for Bough Beech events
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Christmas party fish and chips in Bough Beech, fried fresh
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
For a Christmas party near Bough Beech, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Bough Beech
Which station is closest to Bough Beech?

Could you trade in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?

We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
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 time is best for food?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
