Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Oad Street
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for christmas markets and fairs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Oad Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Oad Street: your questions answered
Is Oad Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What a fish and chip van costs

Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. An afternoon Christmas party in Oad Street can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

A bit of festive music by the van helps.
