Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Broad Oak
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for christmas markets and fairs and staff Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Broad Oak, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Broad Oak
Do you come out to small places like Broad Oak?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Broad Oak from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Where the van can park in Broad Oak
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
