About our party fish and chip van in Ringlestone
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for big birthdays and street parties and neighbourhood events.
Around Ringlestone, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Party venues around Ringlestone
Ringlestone is about 2 miles north of Maidstone, in Kent. People in Ringlestone book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 24 miles away.
Thinking of using Whatman Park? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. A christening at St Paul's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Ringlestone is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
