About our Christmas party fish and chips in Drellingore
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. For office Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Drellingore, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Drellingore hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your guests already know
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan cover for the queue
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. An afternoon Christmas party in Drellingore can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Questions from Drellingore
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Drellingore close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Christmas parties in Drellingore: local tips
Drellingore is about 2 miles east of Hawkinge, in Kent. In and around Drellingore, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We take the van to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Michael draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Drellingore; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over CT18 and CT15. Other places close to Drellingore we cover include South Alkham (1 mile north-east), Alkham (1 mile north-east), Satmar (1 mile south-east), Chalksole Green (1 mile north-east) and Capel-le-Ferne (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Ashford (15 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Dover (4 miles east), Folkestone (3 miles south-west), Deal (11 miles north-east) and Hythe (6 miles south-west).
A little further out are Royal Victoria Hospital (2.9 miles south-west) and Folkestone Museum (3.1 miles south). The countryside around Drellingore includes Sugar Loaf Hill and Dover Western Heights.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
