Fresh fish and chips in Chestnut Street
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Christmas catering near Chestnut Street

Chestnut Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Chestnut Street to Canterbury (17 miles away).

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Chestnut Street
How far is Chestnut Street from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Chestnut Street
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
