Planning an event in South Street?
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In December, it is dark in South Street by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

How our Christmas party fish and chips works in South Street
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. Whether it is christmas markets and fairs and end-of-year club parties, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near South Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Events in South Street and across Kent
- Something for guests to gather round
- A quote that spells everything out
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Planning a Christmas party in South Street
South Street is about 3 miles south-east of Preston, in Kent. We cover South Street as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our bookings stretch from South Street to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Peter and St Paul draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, suit a chip van.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
