About our Christmas party fish and chips in Berwick

Festive bookings around Berwick
Berwick is about 2 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. Bookings in Berwick come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Berwick is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Lympne Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Stephen can book the van as a hot-food stall. Berwick is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 3 miles of Berwick, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Send people out in groups.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Berwick in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
