Christmas party fish and chips for Bobbing events
Christmas party fish and chips in Bobbing, cooked to order
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Typical bookings include club and society Christmas socials and festive gatherings after Christmas, with gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In winter near Bobbing, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Bobbing in December: what to know
Bobbing is about 2 miles west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Bobbing, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Bobbing is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bobbing to Canterbury (about 17 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Grove Park Primary School, suit a chip van. Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Newington station, roughly 1.4 miles west of the centre. Bobbing is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

A closer look at the menu

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
