Christmas party fish and chips in Densole
Festive bookings around Densole
Densole is about 3 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. People in Densole book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Densole to Canterbury (11 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Luke's can book the van as a hot-food stall. Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Folkestone West station, roughly 3.1 miles south of the centre. Densole is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
For Christmas parties in CT18, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From St John's Close, St John's Way and Canterbury Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Densole, we also cover Hawkinge (1 mile south), Swingfield Minnis (1 mile north), Old Hawkinge (2 miles south-east), Arpinge (2 miles south-west) and Selsted (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (13 miles west), Canterbury (11 miles north), Dover (6 miles east), Folkestone (3 miles south), Deal (12 miles north-east) and Hythe (5 miles south-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (2.7 miles south-west) and Folkestone Castle (2.1 miles south). Within reach you will find Cheriton Hill.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Densole
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and end-of-year customer events.
Near Densole, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why book our van in Densole

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. It gets dark in Densole by about 3:50pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check the van can park on site
- Keep the queue dry
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
Park the van close to the door.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
