Christmas party fish and chips in Walter's Green
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Walter's Green
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include depot Christmas treats and office Christmas parties, with cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In a small place like Walter's Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Walter's Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Walter's Green?
Ashurst Kent station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
How far is Walter's Green from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. An afternoon Christmas party in Walter's Green can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
