What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Kearsney
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. For depot Christmas treats and christmas family parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy.
Around Kearsney, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Kearsney in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Kearsney
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve near the sea around Kearsney?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
