A chip van near Round Street
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Round Street
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Whether it’s christmas fairs at schools and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In a small place like Round Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Cannot 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 usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cover Round Street and the whole of Kent

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
- Check the van can park on site
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Plan cover for the queue.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Round Street in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Questions from Round Street
Could you trade in Jeskyns?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Round Street close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
- 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
