Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Milton-next-Gravesend
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas customer days and PTA Christmas events.
In Milton-next-Gravesend, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

What else we do in Milton-next-Gravesend
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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.
Milton-next-Gravesend questions
Is Milton-next-Gravesend close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Keep the van close to the door.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
