A chip van near Wierton
Christmas party fish and chips in Wierton, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff Christmas parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
In a small place like Wierton, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Festive bookings around Wierton
Wierton is about 3 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. In and around Wierton, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Wierton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Wierton to Canterbury (about 23 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Boughton Monchelsea Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. If people are coming by rail, Staplehurst station, about 3.3 miles south, is the nearest station. Wierton 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.

The process

- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

What else we do in Wierton
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Wierton
- Bookings across Kent, including Wierton
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
