Party venues around East Hill
East Hill is about 5 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. From the centre of East Hill to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. You can also see our page for London, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Lullingstone Castle (2.2 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. Parks such as Kemsing Down usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. East Hill is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Anywhere in TN15, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can serve a party on streets such as Cherry Tree Grove, Ashen Grove Road and East Hill Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Knatts Valley (1 mile south-east), Romney Street (1 mile south-west), West Kingsdown (1 mile north-east), Maplescombe (1 mile north) and Woodlands (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (14 miles east), Dartford (7 miles north), Sevenoaks (5 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south), Gravesend (9 miles north-east) and Tonbridge (10 miles south).
A little further out are Sevenoaks Hospital (4 miles south-west) and Otford Heritage Centre (2.8 miles south-west).
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Flag any coeliac guests
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

East Hill questions
Can the van park in Kemsing Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In East Hill, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
