About our Christmas party fish and chips in Stuppington

For a Christmas party near Stuppington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Stuppington
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Stuppington: your questions answered
Do you come 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.
Is Stuppington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to Stuppington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Stuppington is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
