About our Christmas party fish and chips in Sinkhurst Green
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas socials for clubs.
In a small place like Sinkhurst Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Sinkhurst Green 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.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sinkhurst Green
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Sinkhurst Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Do you do Christmas markets?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t 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 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 do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van come to Sinkhurst Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Sinkhurst Green is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Cod and chips

Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Sinkhurst Green?
It suits shift teams who can’t all go out together.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Festive open days

A winter fair at a school like Frittenden Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
