About our Christmas party fish and chips in Greatstone-on-Sea
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year club parties and work Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Greatstone-on-Sea, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Greatstone-on-Sea
Do you come out to small places like Greatstone-on-Sea?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Greatstone-on-Sea close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Greatstone-on-Sea.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan cover for the queue
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
