How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bredhurst
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and lights switch-on events.
Near Bredhurst, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Bredhurst: your questions answered
Could you trade in Levan Strice?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bredhurst?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 typically the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Send allergies to us in writing
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
