About our party fish and chip van in Perrywood
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and get-togethers with old friends, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Near Perrywood, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Perrywood? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Perrywood
What’s the nearest station to Perrywood?
The closest is Selling station, roughly 1.2 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 will follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
