How our party fish and chip van works in Gold Street
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Typical bookings include big birthdays and family parties with children, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Gold Street, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Show us where the van would go
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us how many children are coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Gold Street
Is Gold Street close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Gold Street?
Gold Street has its own station: Sole Street station.
Do you cover Gold Street?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Gold Street and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Gold Street.
