About our Christmas party fish and chips in Weavering
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. For christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and christmas customer days, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In Weavering, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Weavering?
No restaurant booking, no taxis, because the van comes to you.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Christmas socials for clubs
- Work Christmas parties

- Family Christmas get-togethers

Questions from Weavering
Is Weavering close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Weavering?
The closest is Bearsted station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
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 to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Christmas parties in Weavering: local tips
Weavering is about 1 mile east of Maidstone, in Kent. Bookings in Weavering come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Weavering is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Weavering to Canterbury (23 miles away).
If a church like Holy Cross Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Bearsted station, about 0.8 miles east. Weavering is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
This part of Kent takes in ME14 and ME15, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Ames Avenue, Birkdale Lane and Fauchon's Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Bearsted (1 mile east), Grove Green (1 mile north-west), Penenden Heath (1 mile north-west), Foley Park (1 mile north-west) and Shepway (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Sittingbourne (9 miles north-east), Gravesend (13 miles north-west), Tonbridge (13 miles south-west), Faversham (14 miles east), Northfleet (14 miles north-west) and Minster (15 miles north-east).
A little further out are Maidstone Carriage Museum (1.6 miles west) and The Mall Maidstone (1.4 miles west). Within reach you will find Detling Hill.
- Local schools include Valley Park School (1 mile west)
- Nearby, you will find Bell Inn (0.5 miles north-east)
For event organisers in Weavering
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Have a back-up for special diets
- December Fridays go first: book early
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Weavering in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
