Christmas party fish and chips in Boughton Malherbe, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. We are frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and festive gatherings after Christmas, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Boughton Malherbe, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Boughton Malherbe: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Malherbe?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Boughton Malherbe?
Lenham station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Boughton Malherbe.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
