About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wincheap
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. For festive family gatherings and festive gatherings after Christmas, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
In Wincheap, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Train travellers will want to know that Canterbury East station is in Wincheap itself. If a church like Church of St Mildred is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
This part of Kent takes in CT1 and CT2, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Ada Road, Cow Lane and Back Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Wincheap is on the A2, so it is easy for us to reach with the van.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Send people out in groups in the cold.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. An afternoon Christmas party in Wincheap can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Contact us 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
