About our Christmas party fish and chips in Chartway Street
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. For festive family gatherings and club and society Christmas socials, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Chartway Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Chartway Street: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Chartway Street?
Harrietsham station, about 3 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Chartway Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you come to Chartway Street?
Yes, we do. Chartway Street is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan cover for the queue

When service is finished, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

- How late numbers can change
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
A chip van compared with other options
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Planning a Christmas party in Chartway Street

We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 21 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, Harrietsham station, about 3 miles north-east, is the nearest station. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Kingswood Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Plan your Christmas party in Chartway Street around the dark: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
