A chip van near Warmlake
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. By about 3:50pm in late December, it is dark in Warmlake; park the van where there is good light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Warmlake
It is a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for work Christmas parties and end-of-year club parties.
In a small place like Warmlake, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Send round an allergy question
- Book as early as possible for December
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Planning a Christmas party in Warmlake
Warmlake is about 4 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Bookings in Warmlake come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Warmlake is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Warmlake to Canterbury (22 miles away).
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Sutton Valence Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. A Christmas fair at Church of St Michael is just the kind of event a chip van suits. Warmlake is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Wherever your Christmas party is in ME17, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your Christmas party is on Warmlake Orchard, Oast Gardens and Maidstone Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Five Wents (1 mile north), Sutton Valence (1 mile south), Langley Heath (1 mile north), Langley (1 mile north) and Chart Sutton (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (4 miles north-west), Ashford (13 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (15 miles south-west), Tonbridge (14 miles west) and Faversham (14 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find KIMS hospital (4.6 miles north) and The Dog Collar Museum (2.3 miles north-east).
- Local pubs include The Plough Inn (under half a mile north-west)
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Warmlake questions
Do you come out to small places like Warmlake?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Warmlake close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
