Planning a Christmas party in Eastchurch
Eastchurch is about 3 miles east of Minster, in Kent. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Eastchurch, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. Eastchurch is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Eastchurch to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Eastchurch Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like Church of All Saints is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
Wherever your Christmas party is in ME12, we can bring the van to you. Whether your Christmas party is on High Street, Squires Court and Warden Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Eastchurch, we also cover Mud Row (1 mile east), Bay View (2 miles east), Warden (2 miles east), Minster (3 miles west) and Leysdown-on-Sea (3 miles east). Further out, we also take the van to Canterbury (13 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (7 miles south-west), Whitstable (8 miles south-east), Faversham (6 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles east) and Davington (6 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Minster Gatehouse Museum (2.3 miles north-west).
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Eastchurch in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Send round an allergy question
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Plan cover for the queue.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
