At a festive party in Park Farm, a chip van on the drive is a treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Park Farm; light the path to the van.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Park Farm: your questions answered
Is Park Farm close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Park Farm in December: what to know
Park Farm is about 1 mile south of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Park Farm or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Park Farm to Canterbury (14 miles away).
For colleagues travelling by train, the closest railway station is Ashford International station, roughly 1.5 miles north of the centre. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Park Farm, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Christmas parties anywhere in TN23 and TN25 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Hawthorn Road, Snowbell Road and Redberry Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Park Farm, we also cover Kingsnorth (1 mile south-west), Newtown (1 mile north-east), Stanhope (1 mile north-west), South Willesborough (1 mile north-east) and Finberry (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (13 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (10 miles east), Davington (14 miles north) and Preston (13 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include William Harvey Hospital (2.4 miles north-east) and Ashford Designer Outlet (1.1 miles north). Within reach you will find Orlestone Forest.
- Local schools include John Wallis Academy (0.8 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include Queen's Head Public House (0.5 miles west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
