About our Christmas party fish and chips in West Peckham
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include lights switch-on events and festive gatherings after Christmas, serving mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
In a small place like West Peckham, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Plan cover for the queue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
West Peckham in December: what to know
West Peckham is about 5 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. Wherever your Christmas party is in the ME18 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We take the van to 922 places in Kent. Our bookings stretch from West Peckham to London (26 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Dunstan can book the van as a hot-food stall. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Mereworth Community Primary School, suit a chip van.
This part of Kent takes in ME18. Local streets include Church Road and Mereworth Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Larger places within reach include Maidstone (7 miles east), Dartford (15 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (8 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (9 miles south-west), Gravesend (13 miles north) and Tonbridge (5 miles south-west).

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. December in West Peckham means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
