Party fish and chip van in Graveney, fried fresh
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. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and family parties with children.
Country parties near Graveney suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
A chip van compared with other options
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Graveney is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price

Questions from Graveney
How far is Graveney from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cover Graveney?
We do. Graveney is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Graveney
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
