Christmas party fish and chips in Frittenden
Christmas party fish and chips in Frittenden, fried fresh
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for festive gatherings after Christmas and staff Christmas parties.
In winter near Frittenden, we need firm ground and light. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Frittenden; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planning help
Can’t 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.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send round an allergy question
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

FAQs for Frittenden
Is Frittenden too small for a chip van?
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 High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
When should we eat?
Food early on is normally wise. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
