Party fish and chip van for Sheerness events
How our party fish and chip van works in Sheerness
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it is big birthdays and kids’ birthday parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a party in Sheerness, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Autumn and winter parties in Sheerness get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day

Sheerness: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Sheerness?
Sheerness-On-Sea station, in Sheerness itself.
Can the van park in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Check the street’s parking rules
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
