Fresh fish and chips in Sevington
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Book as early as possible for December
- Collect allergies in advance
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Christmas party fish and chips in Sevington, cooked to order
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Typical bookings include lights switch-on events and club and society Christmas socials, with gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near Sevington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently 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’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Sevington questions
Do you come out to small places like Sevington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Sevington?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Sevington in December: what to know
Sevington is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Sevington and nearby villages. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Mary can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Willesborough Junior School, hot fish and chips goes down well. Sevington is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in TN24 and TN25, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Church Road, Bad Munstereifel Road and Highfield Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. For Christmas parties just outside Sevington, we cover Hinxhill Park (1 mile north-east), Mersham (1 mile south-east), Hinxhill (1 mile north-east), South Stour (2 miles south) and Ridgeway (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (13 miles north-east), Folkestone (12 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (8 miles south-east), Davington (13 miles north) and Preston (13 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include William Harvey Hospital (0.9 miles north) and Ashford Designer Outlet (1.5 miles west). Within reach you will find Hatch Park.
- Schools near Sevington include The North School (1.4 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The William Harvey Public House (0.7 miles north-west)

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Occasions we serve in Sevington
Christmas dinner fatigue is real, so a chip van makes a nice change.
In Sevington and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Lights switch-on events

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Sevington around the dark: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
