Christmas party fish and chips in Hazel Street
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Hazel Street
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. We’re often asked to cater family Christmas get-togethers and school and PTA Christmas fairs, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Hazel Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in Hazel Street?
There is no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- School and PTA Christmas fairs
- Work Christmas parties
- Warehouse and depot Christmas lunches
- Christmas socials for clubs
Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Paddock Wood station, about 3.9 miles north.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

Festive bookings around Hazel Street
Hazel Street is about 7 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Bookings in Hazel Street come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover 922 places across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 30 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Horsmonden Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Margaret draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Hazel Street is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Hazel Street
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Hazel Street?

Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Hazel Street; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
