Christmas Party Fish and Chips across Kent

Our Christmas party fish and chips in Kent

The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include lights switch-on events and office Christmas parties, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

What you will pay

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Why book our van

  • A clear quote before you book
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Near you in Maidstone

In Maidstone, that can mean an event near Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church and the streets around them. Also close by are River Len LNR (within half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (within half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). The closest station to Maidstone is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Maidstone Carriage Museum (within half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

Festive bookings in Kent

Christmas parties across Kent happen at offices and depots in Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury and at homes and halls in its villages. Plan lighting and a short walk to the van. The Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Kent, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Maidstone: For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Maidstone West station, roughly 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Maidstone is on or near the A20 and A26, so we can reach it easily in winter. An afternoon Christmas party in Maidstone can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there’s good light.

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How far we travel
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The length of service

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Ask about allergies on the party invitation
  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Keep the queue dry

Afterwards, we pack up.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Common questions in Kent

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.

Can you serve in the cold?

We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.

When should we eat?

At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
