How our party fish and chip van works in Lenham Heath
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. We are often asked to cater retirement celebrations and get-togethers with old friends, serving gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Near Lenham Heath, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
