Christmas party fish and chips in Newingreen
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Newingreen
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a Christmas party near Newingreen, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Newingreen in December: what to know
Newingreen is about 2 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Across the CT21 area, we can bring the van to you. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Newingreen to Canterbury (13 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Lympne Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Train travellers will want to know that Westenhanger station is about 0.6 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Newingreen, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
Larger groups typically 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.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Send us the date, the address or CT21 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, it is dark in Newingreen by 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
