Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send round an allergy question
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Christmas party fish and chips in Durlock, cooked to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Whether it is christmas customer days and christmas lunches for shift teams, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Durlock, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
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. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Durlock; light the path to the van.
- 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 a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning a Christmas party in Durlock
Durlock is about 7 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Durlock or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 8 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Nicholas can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
For Christmas parties in CT3, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Guilton (1 mile north-east), Ash (1 mile east), Staple (1 mile south), Nash (1 mile north-west) and Barnsole (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (8 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (9 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include White Mill (2.9 miles east). Open spaces near Durlock include Monk's Wall nature reserve.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Durlock: your questions answered
Is Durlock too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Durlock?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
