The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. For lights switch-on events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.

Christmas parties in Shelvin: local tips
Shelvin is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Tell us where your Christmas party in Shelvin will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. Shelvin is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Shelvin to Canterbury (about 8 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Martin can book the van as a hot-food stall. Shelvin is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Here we cover the CT4 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Clints Lane and Shelvin Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Wootton (1 mile south-west), Denton (1 mile west), Lodge Lees (1 mile west), Breach (2 miles west) and Selsted (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (14 miles west), Canterbury (8 miles north-west), Dover (6 miles south-east), Folkestone (7 miles south), Ramsgate (14 miles north-east) and Whitstable (13 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Buckland Hospital (5.9 miles south-east).
- Local pubs include Coach House Hotel (0.7 miles north)
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan cover for the queue
- Check the van can park on site
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
