Party fish and chip van for your party in Richborough Port
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. For summer garden parties and get-togethers with old friends, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
A country party near Richborough Port is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A summer party in Richborough Port stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Common questions in Richborough Port
Which station is closest to Richborough Port?
Thanet Parkway station, about 1.8 miles north of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Richborough Port?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What affects the price in Richborough Port
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
