Party fish and chip van in Allington, fried fresh
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for street parties and children’s parties.
In a place like Allington, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll do the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Gravy

Planning a party in Allington
Allington is about 2 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the ME16 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 25 miles away.
If the day starts at St. Nicholas' Church, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Thinking of using Whatman Park? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Allington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in ME16, ME20 and ME14, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. We can serve a party on streets such as Wyatt Road, Beaver Road and Godwin Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve parties in Aylesford (1 mile north-west), Fant (1 mile south), Ditton (2 miles west), East Farleigh (2 miles south) and Kettle Corner (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Sittingbourne (11 miles east), Sevenoaks (13 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south-west), Gravesend (11 miles north-west), Tonbridge (11 miles south-west) and Northfleet (12 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Museum (1.3 miles south-east) and Fremlin Walk (1.3 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
- Schools near Allington include The Maplesden Noakes School (0.7 miles south-east) and St. Simon Stock Catholic School (0.9 miles south)

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Allington drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
FAQs for Allington
Could you trade in Whatman Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Allington?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
