Christmas party fish and chips in Donkey Street, cooked to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and staff Christmas parties.
In a small place like Donkey Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Donkey Street; light the path to the van.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.

- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning a Christmas party in Donkey Street
Donkey Street is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Donkey Street is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Donkey Street to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
If a church like Church of All Saints is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Wherever your Christmas party is in TN29, we can fry fresh for your guests. If your venue is just outside Donkey Street, we also cover Dymchurch (1 mile south), West Hythe (2 miles north-east), Lympne (2 miles north-east), Palmarsh (2 miles north-east) and Berwick (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles north-west), Dover (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (7 miles east), Hythe (4 miles north-east), Tower Hamlets (14 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (8 miles north-east).

- Pubs nearby include The Shepherd And Crook Public House (under half a mile west)
Why choose a fish and chip van in Donkey Street?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Questions from Donkey Street
Is Donkey Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Donkey Street?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
