Christmas catering near Westwood
Westwood is about 1 mile south of Margate, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Westwood, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Westwood. We serve 922 places in Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Westwood to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The coast is within about 2 miles of Westwood, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Westwood
Can you serve near the sea around Westwood?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Westwood close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Westwood in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
