Party fish and chip van in Silver Street
How our party fish and chip van works in Silver Street
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater street parties and family reunions.
A country party near Silver Street is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Common questions in Silver Street
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Silver Street?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.8 miles north-east of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Can you park at our house?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Silver Street?

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, it’s light in Silver Street until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
