Fresh fish and chips in Heaverham
Christmas party fish and chips in Heaverham, fried fresh
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. For festive family gatherings and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In winter near Heaverham, we need firm ground and light. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Questions from Heaverham
Could you trade in Kemsing Down?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Heaverham?
The closest is Kemsing station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Heaverham in December: what to know
Heaverham is about 3 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Heaverham, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Heaverham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 20 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Kemsing station, about 0.6 miles south-west. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Heaverham, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

If your venue is just outside Heaverham, we also cover Cotman's Ash (1 mile north-west), Woodlands (1 mile north), Kemsing (2 miles west), Knatts Valley (2 miles north) and Romney Street (2 miles north-west).

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A quote that spells everything out
- Quick service from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Heaverham?

Here are some of the occasions we serve in Heaverham and Kent:
- Christmas fairs at schools
