Fresh fish and chips in Longfield Hill
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Longfield Hill
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include christmas customer days and christmas socials for clubs, with gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Longfield Hill, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Questions from Longfield Hill
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs 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.
Could you trade in Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Longfield Hill in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
