Christmas party fish and chips for Pembles Cross events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Pembles Cross
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Typical bookings include new Year parties and festive open days, serving curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like Pembles Cross, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Pembles Cross
Is Pembles Cross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Pembles Cross?
Lenham station, about 2.8 miles north of the centre.
Can the van come to Pembles Cross?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Pembles Cross and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
