Hickmans Green in December: what to know
Hickmans Green is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. We serve Christmas parties at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Hickmans Green and nearby villages. We serve 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
A winter fair at a school like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Selling station, about 1 mile south-west. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Hickmans Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Wherever your Christmas party is in ME13, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Winterbourne (1 mile south-east), Boughton under Blean (1 mile north-east), Oversland (1 mile south), South Street (1 mile south-west) and Crouch (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (11 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles west), Whitstable (6 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles north-west) and Herne Bay (9 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Tower keep castle at Chilham (3.1 miles south) and Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (5.4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Local pubs include The Queens Head pub (0.6 miles north)
Christmas party fish and chips in Hickmans Green, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Whether it is club and society Christmas socials and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Hickmans Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Common questions in Hickmans Green
Do you come out to small places like Hickmans Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Hickmans Green?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is normally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. Plan your Christmas party in Hickmans Green around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
