Christmas party fish and chips in Egerton Forstal, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and depot Christmas treats.
In a small place like Egerton Forstal, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
FAQs for Egerton Forstal
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Egerton Forstal?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Egerton Forstal in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Collect allergies in advance
Plan cover for the queue.
