Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Stone
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and festive family gatherings.
In Stone, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Stone?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In December, it is dark in Stone 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.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Questions from Stone
Is Stone close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Darenth Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
