Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Warren Street
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for office Christmas parties and end-of-year customer events.
In a small place like Warren Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Keep the queue dry
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests

Christmas parties in Warren Street: local tips
Warren Street is about 7 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Across the ME17 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Warren Street to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that Lenham station is about 2.4 miles away. Warren Street is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it is dark in Warren 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.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- 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.
Before we arrive
