Party fish and chip van for your party in Grubb Street
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for garden get-togethers and family celebrations after a christening.
In a small place like Grubb Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

FAQs for Grubb Street
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?

Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
