Party fish and chip van for your party in Coxheath
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Typical bookings include family celebrations after a christening and reunions and family get-togethers, with curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a party in Coxheath, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply

Questions from Coxheath
How far is Coxheath from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A quote that spells everything out

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Mushy peas
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
