Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Skeete
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. For christmas socials for clubs and family Christmas get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Skeete, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Christmas parties in Skeete: local tips
Skeete is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Skeete, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Skeete. We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Skeete to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Westenhanger station, roughly 2.5 miles south-west of the centre. Skeete is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Where the van can park in Skeete
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
