Party fish and chip van for your party in Bexon
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For retirement celebrations and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Bexon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Midsummer parties in Bexon stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 normally the easier option.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Bexon
Which station is closest to Bexon?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park at our house?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
For event organisers in Bexon
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
