The process

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Christmas parties in Middle Stoke: local tips
Middle Stoke is in Medway. Christmas parties in Middle Stoke are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Middle Stoke is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Middle Stoke to Canterbury (23 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Stoke Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the ME3 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Burrows Lane and Grain Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Lower Stoke (1 mile north), Stoke (1 mile west), North Street (1 mile south-west), Allhallows (1 mile north) and St Mary Hoo (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Gillingham (6 miles south-west), Chatham (8 miles south-west), Rochester (7 miles south-west), Rainham (6 miles south), Strood (8 miles south-west) and Luton (7 miles south-west).

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
