DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Christmas party fish and chips in Throwley, cooked to order
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it is warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and work Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Throwley, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips

What’s the nearest station to Throwley?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Throwley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, it is dark in Throwley by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Check the van can park on site
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
