Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Boughton Monchelsea
Is Boughton Monchelsea too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Boughton Monchelsea?
East Farleigh station, about 2.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Boughton Monchelsea?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you come to Boughton Monchelsea?
Yes, we do. Boughton Monchelsea is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Plan cover for the queue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
