Golden Green in December: what to know
Golden Green is about 3 miles east of Tonbridge, in Kent.

We serve 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 28 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Golden Green Mission Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Hadlow Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Golden Green
Do you come out to small places like Golden Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Golden Green?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Do you come to Golden Green?
Yes, we do. Golden Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
