Christmas party fish and chips in Newenden, cooked to order
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. For festive family gatherings and new Year parties, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.
In winter near Newenden, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
FAQs for Newenden
Is Newenden close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Newenden?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Newenden?
We do. We serve events in Newenden and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Keep the queue dry
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Newenden. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
