Near Bluetown, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, it is light in Bluetown until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.

Planning a party in Bluetown
Bluetown is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. In and around Bluetown, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. Bluetown is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
A green space like Cromers Wood is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Catherine, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Bluetown is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We serve parties across the ME9 postcode area. We also bring the van to parties in Hollybushes (1 mile west), Milstead (1 mile north-west), Doddington (1 mile south-east), Wichling (1 mile south) and Frinsted (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (10 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south-east), Canterbury (14 miles east), Sittingbourne (4 miles north), Whitstable (13 miles east) and Faversham (6 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Newnham Castle (2.4 miles east) and Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (3.4 miles north).
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let your neighbours know
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Flag any coeliac guests
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
