Christmas party fish and chips for Hawkhurst events
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Hawkhurst
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and end-of-year customer events.
For a Christmas get-together near Hawkhurst, the van on the drive goes down well. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Hawkhurst can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

FAQs for Hawkhurst
Can the van park in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Hawkhurst close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
