About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pollhill: your questions answered
Is Pollhill close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. It gets dark in Pollhill by about 3:50pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Christmas parties in Pollhill: local tips
Pollhill is about 6 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Pollhill is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Pollhill to Canterbury (18 miles away).
If a church like Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Pollhill is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
