Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a chip van is hard to beat in Gravel Castle. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- No surprises in your quote
- We cover Gravel Castle and the whole of Kent
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Sunset in Gravel Castle is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day

- Confirm the van is allowed on site
