Haine questions
Is Haine close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Haine?
The closest is Ramsgate station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
When should we eat?
Food early on is usually wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Festive bookings around Haine
Haine is about 2 miles north-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Haine is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Haine is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Christopher's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Dame Janet Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in CT12, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your Christmas party is on Hawthorn Grange and Haine Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Haine around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
