Christmas party fish and chips for Little Conghurst events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Little Conghurst
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are often booked for festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In a small place like Little Conghurst, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Little Conghurst questions
Do you come out to small places like Little Conghurst?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
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 will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Christmas catering near Little Conghurst
Little Conghurst is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Bookings in Little Conghurst 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. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Little Conghurst to Canterbury (about 29 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. A Christmas fair at Church of All Saints is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Little Conghurst, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
