Fresh fish and chips in Ebbsfleet
How our party fish and chip van works in Ebbsfleet
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and neighbourhood get-togethers.
Near Ebbsfleet, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning a party in Ebbsfleet
Ebbsfleet is about 3 miles south-west of St Lawrence, in Kent. Tell us where your party in Ebbsfleet will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Ebbsfleet to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Historic houses near Ebbsfleet include Quex Park (3.8 miles north). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first. Thinking of using Sandwich and Pegwell Bay? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
Wherever your party is in CT12 and CT13, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. If your venue is just outside Ebbsfleet, we also cover Richborough Port (1 mile south), Sevenscore (1 mile north), Cliffs End (1 mile north-east), Way (2 miles north-west) and Pegwell (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (5 miles north), Dover (12 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles north-east), Broadstairs (5 miles north-east) and Whitstable (14 miles west).

- Local pubs include The Sportsman pub (1 mile north-east)
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Mention the van to neighbours
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
