Party fish and chip van for your party in East Stourmouth

Country parties near East Stourmouth suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in East Stourmouth until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
