About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hither Green
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Typical bookings include christmas fairs at schools and christmas socials for clubs, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Around Hither Green, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December in Hither Green means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Hither Green
What about parking in Hither Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hither Green?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

About the food

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
