A chip van near Teynham
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Christmas party fish and chips in Teynham, cooked to order
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For staff Christmas parties and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
For a Christmas get-together near Teynham, a chip van on the drive is a treat. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In December, it is dark in Teynham by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
