Christmas party fish and chips in Keston
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Keston
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Whether it is family Christmas get-togethers and christmas socials for clubs, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Keston, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Book as early as possible for December
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- Something for guests to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

FAQs for Keston
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in South Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Keston.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cover Keston?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Keston is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Keston?
The van keeps cooking in any weather.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- PTA Christmas events
- Depot Christmas treats
- Christmas markets and fairs
- Family Christmas get-togethers
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Keston Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
