Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Shadoxhurst
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Typical bookings include club and society Christmas socials and staff Christmas parties, with gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
For a Christmas party near Shadoxhurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Festive bookings around Shadoxhurst
Shadoxhurst is about 3 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Bookings in Shadoxhurst come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Shadoxhurst is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Shadoxhurst to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, Ham Street station is about 3.1 miles away. A winter fair at a school like John Wallis Academy gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Shadoxhurst is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
This part of Kent takes in TN26, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Whether your Christmas party is on The Street, Park Farm Close and Woodchurch Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Stubb's Cross (1 mile north-east), Chilmington Green (2 miles north), Kingsnorth (2 miles east), Fleeden (2 miles north) and Stanhope (2 miles north-east).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Shadoxhurst questions
Can the van park in Stone Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is Shadoxhurst too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
