Fresh fish and chips in Littlebourne
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Littlebourne
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For depot Christmas treats and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Littlebourne, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Littlebourne
Do you come out to small places like Littlebourne?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Littlebourne close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
When should we eat?
Food early on is typically wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

The process

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
