The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Christmas party fish and chips in Whitfield, fried fresh
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Whether it is work Christmas parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Around Whitfield, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Where the van can park in Whitfield
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- 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.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or CT16 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning a Christmas party in Whitfield
Whitfield is about 1 mile north of Dover, in Kent. We serve Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Whitfield and nearby villages. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Whitfield Aspen School, suit a chip van. If a church like Church of St Peter is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Looking after everyone

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, it is dark in Whitfield by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
