Party fish and chip van for Dunn Street events
About our party fish and chip van in Dunn Street
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We’re often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and naming days and christenings, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Country parties near Dunn Street suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. For a late-May party in Dunn Street, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Dunn Street: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Dunn Street?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Dunn Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
