Christmas party fish and chips in Eynsford
Christmas party fish and chips in Eynsford, fried fresh
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and lights switch-on events.
In a small place like Eynsford, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Christmas catering near Eynsford
Eynsford is about 5 miles east of Orpington, in Kent.

We take the van to 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Eynsford to London (16 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as The Anthony Roper Primary School, suit a chip van.

Eynsford is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Eynsford questions
Do you come out to small places like Eynsford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What if the weather’s bad?

Do you have allergen information?

What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
