Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Christmas parties in Lenham Heath: local tips
Lenham Heath is about 8 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Bookings in Lenham Heath come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Lenham Heath is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Lenham Heath to Canterbury (15 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of the Holy Trinity draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like The Lenham School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Lenham Heath is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Lenham Heath; park the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
