Christmas party fish and chips in Dungeness
Christmas party fish and chips in Dungeness, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for new Year parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
In a small place like Dungeness, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Dungeness? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. It gets dark in Dungeness by about 3:50pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Lydd-on-Sea (2 miles north), Greatstone-on-Sea (4 miles north), Lydd (4 miles north-west), Littlestone-on-Sea (4 miles north) and New Romney (5 miles north).

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
