Christmas party fish and chips in Chislet, cooked to order
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and work Christmas parties.
In a small place like Chislet, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Chislet
How far is Chislet from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
