Christmas party fish and chips for Bonnington events
Christmas party fish and chips in Bonnington, cooked to order
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and office Christmas parties.
In winter near Bonnington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Plan your Christmas party in Bonnington around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Bonnington
Which station is closest to Bonnington?
Ham Street station, about 3.6 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bonnington? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Christmas parties in Bonnington: local tips
Bonnington is about 5 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. We cover Bonnington as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Bonnington is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bonnington to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Rumwold can book the van as a hot-food stall. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Ham Street station is about 3.6 miles away. Bonnington 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.
For Christmas parties in TN25, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Cherry Orchard Lane and Bourne Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Aldington (1 mile north-east), Clap Hill (1 mile north-east), Aldington Frith (1 mile north-west), Stonestreet Green (1 mile north-east) and Postling Green (1 mile east).

Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Bonnington?
It suits shift teams who can’t all go out together.
Whatever the occasion in Bonnington, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Work Christmas parties
