Christmas party fish and chips in Kettle Corner
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your guests already know
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Kettle Corner
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater office Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events.
Near Kettle Corner, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Kettle Corner
How far is Kettle Corner from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Kettle Corner?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
