About our Christmas party fish and chips in Durrant Green
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Typical bookings include warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and lights switch-on events, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Durrant Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
A chip van compared with other options

Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Durrant Green
How far is Durrant Green from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Is Durrant Green 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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Durrant Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
