Christmas party fish and chips in Aldington
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Aldington
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. For depot Christmas treats and lights switch-on events, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In winter near Aldington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Aldington questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Aldington?
Ham Street station, about 4.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
What affects the price in Aldington
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the space and the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Aldington; park the van where there’s good light.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
