- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Christmas party fish and chips in Nonington, cooked to order
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it’s christmas fairs at schools and christmas socials for clubs, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
In winter near Nonington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. December in Nonington means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Christmas catering near Nonington
Nonington is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Bookings in Nonington come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Nonington is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Mary can book the van as a hot-food stall. For colleagues travelling by train, Aylesham station, about 0.8 miles west, is the nearest station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Nonington, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
This part of Kent takes in CT15, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Vicarage Lane, St Mary's Close and Park View Rise; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Nonington, we also cover Snowdown (1 mile south-west), Frogham (1 mile south), Ratling (1 mile north-west), Chillenden (1 mile north-east) and Barfrestone (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (7 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (7 miles south-east), Folkestone (10 miles south), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).

Common questions in Nonington
Is Nonington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go 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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
