Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen needed

Parties in Sissinghurst: homes, halls and local tips
Sissinghurst is about 11 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. People in Sissinghurst book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 26 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that Staplehurst station, about 4.3 miles north, is the nearest station. Parks such as Crane Valley typically need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Sissinghurst is within about 2 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

We can serve a party on streets such as The Street, Milkhouse Cottages and Cobnut Close, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges

- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
