Christmas party fish and chips in Culverstone Green
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Christmas party fish and chips in Culverstone Green, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. We’re often asked to cater festive family gatherings and staff Christmas parties, with cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Culverstone Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Culverstone Green questions
Is Culverstone Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
