Fresh fish and chips in Slutshole
Christmas party fish and chips in Slutshole, fried fresh
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. We’re often asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and christmas fairs at schools, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Slutshole, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. An afternoon Christmas party in Slutshole can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Where the van can park in Slutshole
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Slutshole in December: what to know
Slutshole is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Slutshole is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Slutshole is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Slutshole to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
