Party fish and chip van in Eastling, cooked to order

A country party near Eastling is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Send us a picture of the drive
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Common questions in Eastling
Which station is closest to Eastling?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you come to Eastling?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Eastling. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Perfect for your party in Eastling
Fresh food beats a tired buffet.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Eastling book the van for events such as:
- Naming days and christenings
- Big birthdays
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
- Family parties with children
Thinking of using Doddington Place Gardens? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade.
Comparing caterers
- A clear list of what’s included
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- When payment is due
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
