Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Knockholt Pound
Is Knockholt Pound close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book our van in Knockholt Pound
- Something for guests to gather round
- A clear quote before you book
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For event organisers in Knockholt Pound
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Knockholt Pound?
It’s hot food on a cold day.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Lights switch-on events
- Christmas family parties
- End-of-year club parties
