Christmas party fish and chips in Potters Corner
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Potters Corner
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Typical bookings include staff Christmas parties and new Year parties, serving cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Near Potters Corner, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Where the van can park in Potters Corner
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Festive bookings around Potters Corner
Potters Corner is about 2 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. Around Potters Corner, we park wherever there is level, firm ground. We serve 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Potters Corner to Canterbury (12 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Goat Lees Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Potters Corner is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Wherever your Christmas party is in TN25 and TN26, we can fry fresh for your guests. Streets in the area include Kingsland Lane, Sandyhurst Lane and Westwell Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Bockhanger (1 mile south-east), Godinton (1 mile south), Westwell (1 mile north), Hothfield (1 mile west) and Kennington (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (15 miles south-east), Whitstable (15 miles north-east), Faversham (10 miles north) and Hythe (12 miles south-east).

- Local schools include The Hayesbrook School (1.2 miles north) and Towers School and Sixth Form Centre (1.4 miles east)
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In December, it’s dark in Potters Corner by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Send round an allergy question
Afterwards, we pack up.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Potters Corner
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’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Potters Corner?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 2.2 miles away.

Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
