Party fish and chip van in Moorstock
How our party fish and chip van works in Moorstock
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and get-togethers with old friends.
In a small place like Moorstock, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Moorstock?

Questions from Moorstock
Can you serve near the sea around Moorstock?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van go 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 work to whatever the site needs.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you come to a street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

How it works
