Party fish and chip van in Cop Street, cooked to order
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re often asked to cater birthday parties and anniversary celebrations, with cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Cop Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Cop Street? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Cop Street parties: what to know
Cop Street is about 6 miles south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Give us the address of your party in Cop Street, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 9 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Nicholas, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (4.1 miles south-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
This part of Kent takes in CT3, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. If your venue is just outside Cop Street, we also cover Weddington (1 mile south), Ash (1 mile south), Guilton (1 mile south-west), Coombe (1 mile south) and Durlock (1 mile south-west).

Cop Street: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Cop Street?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Midsummer parties in Cop Street stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
