Christmas party fish and chips in Underriver, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it’s christmas socials for clubs and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.

Underriver: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Underriver?
The closest is Hildenborough station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Hildenborough station, about 2.3 miles south. A winter fair at a school like Sevenoaks Preparatory School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Underriver 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Keep the queue dry
- Collect allergies in advance
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
