Party fish and chip van in Guilton, cooked to order
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and family parties with children, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In a small place like Guilton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Guilton?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cover Guilton and the whole of Kent

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, it’s light in Guilton until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
