Christmas party fish and chips in Toy's Hill

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Christmas party fish and chips in Toy's Hill, cooked to order

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. For PTA Christmas events and end-of-year customer events, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips.

In Toy's Hill, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Toy's Hill: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for the van in Toy's Hill?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

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’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do you do anything other than fish?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Do you cover Toy's Hill?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Toy's Hill. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What does the van need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Do you do work Christmas parties?

We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

Can you cater for allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Where the van can park in Toy's Hill

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Toy's Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Plan your Christmas party in Toy's Hill around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Planning a Christmas party in Toy's Hill

Toy's Hill is about 4 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Greater London. Tell us where your Christmas party in Toy's Hill will be, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Toy's Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Toy's Hill to London (about 20 miles away).

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Ide Hill Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Toy's Hill is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
