About our Christmas party fish and chips in Robertsbridge
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are frequently asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and christmas markets and fairs, with curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Robertsbridge, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Robertsbridge questions
Is Robertsbridge too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
A chip van compared with other options
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
