Christmas party fish and chips in Street End
Street End: your questions answered
Is Street End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Street End?
Canterbury East station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Street End
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for school and PTA Christmas fairs and end-of-year club parties.
In a small place like Street End, December lanes are dark, 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Christmas catering near Street End
Street End is about 2 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Street End, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Street End is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Street End, so put the van where there is good light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
