About our party fish and chip van in Mundy Bois

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Common questions in Mundy Bois
Is Mundy Bois close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Mundy Bois?
The closest is Pluckley station, roughly 2 miles away.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Autumn and winter parties in Mundy Bois 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.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Count children separately
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Put the menu up by the van.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
