Christmas parties in Hollybushes: local tips
Hollybushes is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Hollybushes, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Hollybushes. Hollybushes is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Sittingbourne station, roughly 3.7 miles north of the centre. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. Hollybushes is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Christmas party fish and chips in Hollybushes, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. We are frequently asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas family parties, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Hollybushes, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
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, send us your details through our quote form.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

Send people out in groups in the cold.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Hollybushes? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
