How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Northfleet
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas socials for clubs and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons.
In a town like Northfleet, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. A chip van needs a level, lit spot nearby. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Northfleet in December: what to know
Northfleet is about 5 miles east of Dartford, in Kent. Around Northfleet, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground, close to your guests. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Northfleet to London (20 miles away).
If a church like Church of All Saints is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Northfleet Technology College, suit a chip van.
For Christmas parties in DA11, we just need to know where the van can park. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Lawrance Square, London Road and Marks Square, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Northfleet on the A2 and A226, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Painters Ash (1 mile south-west), Springhead (1 mile west), Windmill Hill (1 mile east), Northfleet Green (1 mile south) and Gravesend (1 mile east). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (14 miles south-east), Dartford (5 miles west), Sevenoaks (13 miles south-west), Swanley (8 miles west), Kings Hill (11 miles south) and Foley Park (13 miles south-east).

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
