How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Sissinghurst
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
In a small place like Sissinghurst, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Sissinghurst questions
Can the van park in Crane Valley?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Sissinghurst?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity can book the van as a hot-food stall. Train travellers will want to know that Staplehurst station, about 4.3 miles north, is the nearest station.

Where the van can park in Sissinghurst
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
