Christmas party fish and chips for Hothfield events

Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Bookings across Kent, including Hothfield
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Christmas party fish and chips in Hothfield, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Typical bookings include warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and new Year parties, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In winter near Hothfield, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Plan your Christmas party in Hothfield around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What affects the price in Hothfield
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Hothfield
Do you come out to small places like Hothfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
