About our Christmas party fish and chips in Red Hill
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. For christmas markets and fairs and christmas fairs at schools, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Red Hill, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Red Hill is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Red Hill to London (28 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Church of St Peter and St Paul is just the kind of event a chip van suits. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Red Hill in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
