Fresh fish and chips in Lydd-on-Sea
Christmas party fish and chips in Lydd-on-Sea, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Typical bookings include new Year parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Lydd-on-Sea, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
