Christmas party fish and chips for Faversham events
Faversham questions
Can the van park in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Faversham from London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Christmas party fish and chips in Faversham, cooked to order
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for christmas fairs at schools and end-of-year club parties.
In Faversham, a chip van is a welcome change at Christmas. Plan lighting and a short walk to the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Events in Faversham and across Kent
- Rain does not stop the fryers

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Faversham by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
