Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Farningham; light the path to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
