Christmas party fish and chips in Fawkham Green, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We are frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and christmas lunches for shift teams, with cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Fawkham Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Fawkham Green questions
Is Fawkham Green close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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 follow the site rules.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
