How our party fish and chip van works in Sheet Hill
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Popular choices include gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and christenings and naming days.
Near Sheet Hill, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Questions from Sheet Hill
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it is light in Sheet Hill until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
