What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Southborough is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Southborough
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Whether it is office Christmas parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
For Christmas parties in Southborough, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Send people out in groups.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Southborough
Can the van park in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask 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 will follow the site rules.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening normally works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Plan your Christmas party in Southborough around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
