Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Puddledock
Is parking a problem for the van in Puddledock?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
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.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
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 booking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
