Party fish and chip van in Bogle, cooked to order
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and christenings and naming days.
A country party near Bogle is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
Have bins and napkins by the van.

Parties in Bogle: homes, halls and local tips
Bogle is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. From the centre of Bogle to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. For party guests on the train, Teynham station is about 1.1 miles away. Bogle is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
For parties in ME9, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Lynsted Lane and Bogle Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Bogle, we also cover Lynsted (1 mile south-west), Radfield (1 mile north-west), Bapchild (1 mile west), Rodmersham (1 mile west) and Erriottwood (1 mile south). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (13 miles east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north-west), Whitstable (11 miles east) and Faversham (4 miles east).

Bogle questions
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Bogle?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bogle and the rest of Kent. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Bogle is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
