Christmas party fish and chips in Elham, cooked to order
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Whether it’s work Christmas parties and christmas lunches for shift teams, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Elham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Sunset in Elham in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.

Other occasions in Elham
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

- Have a back-up for special diets
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.

The closest is Sandling station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Elham?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
