Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Tankerton
Is Tankerton close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Tankerton?
Whitstable station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Step by step

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
