How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Seabrook
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We’re frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and christmas customer days, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In winter near Seabrook, we need firm ground and light. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Christmas parties in Seabrook: local tips
Seabrook is about 2 miles east of Hythe, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Seabrook, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Seabrook. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Seabrook to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Folkestone West station, about 1.7 miles north-east. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Seabrook Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. Seabrook is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 2 miles of Seabrook, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
This part of Kent takes in CT21 and CT20, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. From Sandy Lane, Spring Lane and Naildown Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Sandgate (1 mile east), Newington (1 mile north), Cheriton (1 mile north-east), Hythe (2 miles west) and Peene (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Ashford (12 miles north-west), Canterbury (14 miles north), Dover (9 miles north-east), Deal (15 miles north-east), Tower Hamlets (9 miles north-east) and Walmer (15 miles north-east).

- Nearby schools include The Folkestone School for Girls (1.4 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Fountain pub (within half a mile south)

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help

- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children

Seabrook: your questions answered
Is Seabrook close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
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. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
