About our Christmas party fish and chips in Waterham
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. Whether it’s lights switch-on events and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce for your guests.
In winter near Waterham, we need firm ground and light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. It gets dark in Waterham by about 3:50pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
- 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, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. The coast is within about 4 miles of Waterham, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

FAQs for Waterham
Can you serve near the sea around Waterham?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Waterham?
Whitstable station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
