Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. For festive family gatherings and depot Christmas treats, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Vigo Village, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What comes out of the fryer

Questions from Vigo Village
Do you come 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.
Can the van park in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
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.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. An afternoon Christmas party in Vigo Village can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
