Party fish and chip van in Dunbridge, cooked to order
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for street parties and neighbourhood events and retirement celebrations.
Near Dunbridge, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Put allergy details in writing
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

FAQs for Dunbridge
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Dunbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do children eat?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
