Party fish and chip van in Mountain Street, fried fresh
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and get-togethers with old friends, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Country parties near Mountain Street suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Mushy peas
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Questions from Mountain Street
Which station is closest to Mountain Street?
The closest is Chilham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
