A chip van near Wilsley Green
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Wilsley Green
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. For christmas markets and fairs and office Christmas parties, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce for your guests.
Near Wilsley Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Festive bookings around Wilsley Green
Wilsley Green is about 11 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Bookings in Wilsley Green come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Wilsley Green is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 26 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Staplehurst station, about 4.8 miles north.

The High Weald National Landscape is within about a mile of Wilsley Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Keep the queue dry
- Flag any coeliac guests
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Common questions in Wilsley Green
Could you trade in Crane Valley?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
