FAQs for Lunsford
Is Lunsford close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Lunsford
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Whether it’s club and society Christmas socials and christmas family parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.

Lunsford in December: what to know
Lunsford is about 5 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Lunsford, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 26 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Lunsford Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If a church like Church of the Holy Trinity is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the ME20 postcode area. Streets in the area include Sassoon Close, Chaucer Way and Masefield Road, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in New Hythe (1 mile east), Larkfield (1 mile south), Leybourne (1 mile south-west), Snodland (1 mile north) and Birling (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles east), Dartford (13 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (11 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south-west) and Gravesend (9 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Maidstone Hospital (3.2 miles south-east) and Leybourne Castle (0.9 miles south-west). Open spaces near Lunsford include Blue Bell Hill and Burham Down.

What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
What affects the price in Lunsford
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
