About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hernhill
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. Whether it’s christmas socials for clubs and christmas customer days, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
Near Hernhill, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Hernhill questions
Can the van park in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Hernhill close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Send us the date, the address or ME13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Christmas parties in Hernhill: local tips
Hernhill is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Christmas parties in Hernhill are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Hernhill is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Hernhill to Canterbury (6 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Selling station, roughly 2.3 miles south-west of the centre. If a church like Church of St Michael is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the ME13 postcode area. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Slutshole (1 mile south-west), Staplestreet (1 mile south-west), Dargate (1 mile north-east), Culmers (1 mile north-west) and Goodnestone (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (6 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles west), Whitstable (4 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles west) and Herne Bay (8 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Chilham Castle (4.5 miles south) and Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.3 miles north-east). The countryside around Hernhill includes Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include Red Lion pub (less than half a mile west)
Occasions we serve in Hernhill
No restaurant booking, no taxis, because the van comes to you.
Whatever the occasion in Hernhill, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Staff Christmas parties
- End-of-year customer events
- Christmas socials for clubs
- New Year parties
A winter fair at a school like Hernhill Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deadline for final numbers
- VAT, if it applies
- The van’s size and access needs
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun

What else we do in Hernhill
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hernhill?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before you book
- Classic food your guests already know
Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. By about 3:50pm in late December, it is dark in Hernhill; park the van where there is good light.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
