Planning a party in Hever
Hever is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. We cover Hever as standard, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover 922 places across Kent. Our nearest city page is London, about 23 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Peter, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Hever Castle (within half a mile north-east) and Chiddingstone Castle (1.5 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first. Hever is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Here we cover the TN8 postcode area. Your party could be at a house on Hever Road and Uckfield Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Hever, we also cover Newtown (1 mile south), How Green (1 mile north), Markbeech (1 mile south), Chiddingstone Hoath (2 miles south-east) and Chiddingstone Causeway (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Sevenoaks (8 miles north-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (8 miles south-east), Tonbridge (7 miles east), Swanley (15 miles north), Kings Hill (14 miles north-east) and Paddock Wood (12 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Haxted Watermill Museum (3.4 miles west) and Hever Castle (less than half a mile north-east).

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know
It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Put the menu up by the van.
Occasions we serve in Hever
You do not need a venue: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Reunions and family get-togethers
- Leaving parties
- Engagement parties
- Summer garden parties
A green space like Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Autumn and winter parties in Hever get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Questions from Hever
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Hever?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hever?
