Fresh fish and chips in Kippington
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Kippington
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff Christmas parties and end-of-year club parties.
For a Christmas get-together near Kippington, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Plan your Christmas party in Kippington around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Read how we price and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan cover for the queue
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
When service is finished, we pack up.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Kippington: your questions answered
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Kippington?
Sevenoaks station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you come to Kippington?
We do. We serve events in Kippington and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
