A chip van near Westwell
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Westwell
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. We’re often asked to cater new Year parties and festive family gatherings, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Near Westwell, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- How long we serve
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

Christmas catering near Westwell
Westwell is about 4 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. Bookings in Westwell come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Westwell is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Westwell to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as The Hayesbrook School, suit a chip van. Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Charing station, about 2.6 miles north-west. Westwell is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over TN25 and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Westwell, we also cover Tutt Hill (1 mile south-west), Ram Lane (1 mile west), Potters Corner (1 mile south), Westwell Leacon (2 miles west) and Hothfield (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (15 miles west), Ashford (4 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles north-west), Whitstable (14 miles north-east) and Faversham (9 miles north).
A little further out are County Square (3.2 miles south) and William Harvey Hospital (4.6 miles south-east).
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Westwell; park the van where there is good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand

- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Bookings across Kent, including Westwell
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
See how we price and the cost guide.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Choose a lit spot for the van
When service is finished, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Questions from Westwell

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Westwell?
Charing station, about 2.6 miles north-west of the centre.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
