Christmas party fish and chips in Perry, cooked to order
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-year club parties and lights switch-on events, with curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy.
Near Perry, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Perry: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Perry?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Is Perry too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
For event organisers in Perry
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan cover for the queue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a chip van is hard to beat in Perry. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Christmas catering near Perry
Perry is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Perry, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Perry is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Perry to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
A Christmas fair at Elmstone Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Preston Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.

What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Perry, so put the van where there’s good light.
