Christmas party fish and chips in Postling
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Postling
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Typical bookings include office Christmas parties and new Year parties, with gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce.
For a Christmas party near Postling, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, 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.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Postling

DIY versus a fish and chip 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 generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Festive bookings around Postling
Postling is about 3 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Postling or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Postling is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Postling to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary and St Radegund draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, suit a chip van. Postling is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 4 miles of Postling, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Postling questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Could you trade in Sandling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Plan your Christmas party in Postling around the dark: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
