Party fish and chip van for your party in New Ash Green
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for summer garden parties and retirement parties.
A country party near New Ash Green is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Show us where the van would go
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Finish with the birthday cake.

Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Can you park at our house?
