Christmas party fish and chips in Snargate
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Snargate
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for christmas customer days and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
In a small place like Snargate, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

A closer look at the menu
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.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Occasions we serve in Snargate
It suits shift teams who cannot all go out together.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Snargate
Do you come out to small places like Snargate?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Snargate?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
