- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
About our party fish and chip van in Longfield Hill
For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. Typical bookings include kids’ birthday parties and naming days and christenings, with sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
In a small place like Longfield Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Autumn and winter parties in Longfield Hill get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Questions from Longfield Hill
Can the van park in Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
