Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Christmas party fish and chips in Selling, cooked to order
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater lights switch-on events and new Year parties.
In a small place like Selling, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Selling: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Selling?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Selling from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
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?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Selling. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Events in Selling and across Kent
- No surprises in your quote
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In December, it is dark in Selling by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
