Christmas parties in Finglesham: local tips
Finglesham is about 2 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Finglesham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover 922 places across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Northbourne Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like Church of St George is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Finglesham
Is Finglesham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Betteshanger Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Can the van come to Finglesham?
We do. We serve events in Finglesham and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
