How our Christmas party fish and chips works in New Ash Green
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it’s warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and end-of-year club parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
Near New Ash Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat in New Ash Green. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. December in New Ash Green means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Check the van can park on site
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
