Christmas party fish and chips in Throwley Forstal, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. We serve cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and fairs and office Christmas parties.
Near Throwley Forstal, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Throwley Forstal: your questions answered
Is Throwley Forstal 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.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is generally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. December in Throwley Forstal means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
