About our Christmas party fish and chips in Chilmington Green
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include festive open days and PTA Christmas events, with sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
In winter near Chilmington Green, we need firm ground and light. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the van can park on site
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Chilmington Green questions
Is Chilmington Green close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Can the van come to Chilmington Green?
Yes, we do. Chilmington Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
