Party fish and chip van for your party in Eridge Green
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. We are frequently asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Country parties near Eridge Green suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Hosting a chip van party in Eridge Green
Eridge Green is about 3 miles south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We serve parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Eridge Green and the surrounding area. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Eridge Green to Brighton (24 miles away).
A christening at Holy Trinity Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Eridge Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Eridge Green, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We serve parties across TN3 and the streets around it. Whether your party is on Warren Farm Lane and Forge Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there.
