How our party fish and chip van works in Shatterling
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We are frequently asked to cater birthday parties and street parties, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Country parties near Shatterling suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let your neighbours know
- Make sure the van can park legally
It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
A few lights around the van look great.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Shatterling
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Shatterling close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
