Christmas party fish and chips for Langton Green events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Langton Green
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In Langton Green, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan cover for the queue
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Langton Green
Do you come to venues in the High Weald 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.
Is Langton Green close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
