A chip van near Curteis' Corner
How our party fish and chip van works in Curteis' Corner
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. On the menu are curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips, and we are often booked for retirement parties and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Curteis' Corner, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What’s the nearest station to Curteis' Corner?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Is Curteis' Corner too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Curteis' Corner drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email
After service, we pack up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
