Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Godmersham
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. For christmas family parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Godmersham, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
When service is finished, we pack up.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
