A chip van near Brenchley
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. It gets dark in Brenchley by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and gravy, and we are often booked for club and society Christmas socials and PTA Christmas events.
Near Brenchley, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
