Christmas party fish and chips in Kenton, cooked to order

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. We serve pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater lights switch-on events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.

Around Kenton, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Kenton

What about parking in Kenton?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Which station is closest to Kenton?

The closest is Kenton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Kenton?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can you cater for allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Anything awkward about the way in

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Planning the van’s spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

As a London location, Kenton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

15 questions to ask before you book

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For event organisers in Kenton

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Organising a club, school or community event in Kenton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

How the day works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In December, it’s dark in Kenton by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

  1. It starts with your date, site and numbers.
  2. We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
  3. Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
