About our Christmas party fish and chips in Small Hythe
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for office Christmas parties and festive gatherings after Christmas.
In a small place like Small Hythe, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Small Hythe
Do you come out to small places like Small Hythe?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Small Hythe from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Planning a Christmas party in Small Hythe
Small Hythe is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Bookings in Small Hythe come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Small Hythe is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 23 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
Here we cover the TN30 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Broad Tenterden (1 mile north), Tenterden (2 miles north), Strood (2 miles north-west), Rolvenden Layne (3 miles west) and Rolvenden (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (10 miles north-east), Park Wood (15 miles north-west), Kennington (12 miles north-east), New Romney (11 miles east), Staplehurst (11 miles north-west) and Stanhope (9 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Benenden Hospital (4.8 miles north-west) and Smallhythe Place (within half a mile south). Within reach you’ll find Flatropers Wood.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

The process

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
