Christmas party fish and chips in Kingsdown, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. We are frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and lights switch-on events, with gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Kingsdown, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Kingsdown
Is Kingsdown close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Kingsdown?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you cover Kingsdown?
We do. Kingsdown is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
