Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Christmas party fish and chips in Way, cooked to order
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas socials for clubs.
Near Way, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Which station is closest to Way?
The closest is Minster station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you come to Way?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Way and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Christmas parties in Way: local tips
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Way or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Way is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Way to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin can book the van as a hot-food stall. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Minster station, about 0.9 miles south-west. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in CT12, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Wayborough Hill and Way Hill or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Way, we also cover Mount Pleasant (1 mile north-west), Sevenscore (1 mile south-east), Minster (1 mile west), Acol (1 mile north-west) and Cliffs End (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (4 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles east), Broadstairs (5 miles east) and Whitstable (13 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Westwood Cross (3.1 miles north-east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (3.5 miles east). Within reach you will find Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Nearby, you will find The Bell Inn (0.9 miles south-west)
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
