Christmas party fish and chips for Chevening events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Chevening
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it is christmas family parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In winter near Chevening, we need firm ground and light. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Chevening questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Chevening 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.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. An afternoon Christmas party in Chevening can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- December Fridays go first: book early
When service is finished, we pack up.
Festive lights by the van look great.
