About our party fish and chip van in Aylesham
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Typical bookings include reunions and family get-togethers and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy.
Parties around Aylesham are often relaxed garden affairs. A chip van fits right in. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Classic food your guests already know

We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Common questions in Aylesham
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.
Is Aylesham close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do you cover Aylesham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Aylesham and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
