Fresh fish and chips in Sevenoaks
Christmas party fish and chips in Sevenoaks, fried fresh
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas family parties and christmas socials for clubs.
In a town like Sevenoaks, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. A chip van needs a level, lit spot nearby. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Where the van can park in Sevenoaks
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce

- Pie and chips

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sevenoaks
Can the van park in Montreal Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs 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 book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sevenoaks?
