Party fish and chip van in Kippington, fried fresh
For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. We are frequently asked to cater engagement parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, with sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In a place like Kippington, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll do the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
For event organisers in Kippington
Organising a club, school or community event in Kippington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A summer party in Kippington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Common questions in Kippington
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 follow the site rules.
How far is Kippington from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can the van come to Kippington?
Yes, we do. Kippington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Kippington?
Hot food beats a buffet that’s been out for hours.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Engagement parties
- Family parties with children
- Reunions and family get-togethers
- Retirement celebrations
Nearby historic houses include Knole House (1.2 miles east) and Ightham Mote (4 miles east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
What to look for in a quote
- What the price includes, item by item
- What happens if plans change
- Payment terms and deposit
- If the price includes VAT
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
