About our Christmas party fish and chips in Ripple
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for end-of-year club parties and family Christmas get-togethers.
Near Ripple, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Ripple
Which station is closest to Ripple?
The closest is Walmer station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is Ripple close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
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 be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Festive bookings around Ripple
Ripple is about 2 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. Ripple is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Ripple is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Ripple to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Mary's Catholic Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in CT14, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Mongeham Road, Sunnyside Close and Sutton Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Great Mongeham (1 mile north), Mill Hill (1 mile north-east), Northbourne (2 miles north-west), Sholden Meadows (2 miles north) and Sholden (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (5 miles south-west), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north) and Broadstairs (12 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Victoria Hospital (5.5 miles south-west) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (2.4 miles north-east).
- Local schools include Goodwin Academy (1.8 miles north-east)
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. Sunset in Ripple in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

- Plan lighting near the hatch
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
