Christmas party fish and chips in Elvington, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Whether it’s end-of-year club parties and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Elvington, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Elvington in December: what to know
Elvington is about 5 miles north of Dover, in Kent. We cover Elvington as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Elvington to Canterbury (9 miles away).
If a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Shepherds Well station, roughly 1.9 miles south-west of the centre. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Elvington, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We serve Christmas parties across CT15 and the streets around it. From Sweetbriar Lane, Poplar Drive and Fairview Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Barfrestone (1 mile west), Frogham (1 mile west), Tilmanstone (2 miles east), Nonington (2 miles north-west) and Chillenden (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (9 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (5 miles south), Folkestone (9 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Buckland Hospital (5.5 miles south).

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Elvington
Is Elvington close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Elvington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Put allergy details in writing
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
