Fresh fish and chips in Northfleet
How our party fish and chip van works in Northfleet
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for street parties and christenings and naming days.
In Northfleet, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A chip van suits either, given somewhere to park. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Northfleet?
No washing up, no cold buffet to throw away.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Engagement parties
- Birthday parties
- Summer garden parties
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
Nearby historic houses include Cobham College (3.7 miles south-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the price includes, item by item
- What happens if plans change
- Any minimum charge
- The deadline for final numbers
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Can you cater for allergies?

Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A summer party in Northfleet stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
