Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send round an allergy question
- December Fridays go first: book early
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Milton Regis
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater PTA Christmas events and festive gatherings after Christmas.
For a Christmas party near Milton Regis, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Christmas parties in Milton Regis: local tips
Milton Regis is about 1 mile north-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Milton Regis is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Milton Regis to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of All Saints draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Sunny Bank Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Milton Regis, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Milton Regis in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

Milton Regis: your questions answered
Can the van park in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
