Christmas party fish and chips for Lynsted events
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce

Common questions in Lynsted
Is Lynsted too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Lynsted?
Teynham station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan cover for the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan lighting near the hatch
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
