Fresh fish and chips in Dunn Street
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Dunn Street
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. We serve gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive open days and club and society Christmas socials.
For a Christmas party near Dunn Street, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
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 usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Dunn Street in December: what to know
Dunn Street is about 3 miles south-east of Chatham, in Medway. We serve Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Dunn Street. Dunn Street is one of 68 places in Medway we cover. Our bookings stretch from Dunn Street to Canterbury (22 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Swingate Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Peter can book the van as a hot-food stall. Dunn Street is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
