The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How far is Flemings from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
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.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Flemings 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Flemings to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, Sandwich station, about 2.8 miles east, is the nearest station. A winter fair at a school like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
