Party fish and chip van in St Peter's
About our party fish and chip van in St Peter's
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We are often asked to cater milestone birthdays and garden get-togethers, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In a place like St Peter's, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges

- The number of meals

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us

- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What else we do in St Peter's
St Peter's: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to St Peter's?
Broadstairs station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park at our house?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Autumn and winter parties in St Peter's get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Planning a party in St Peter's
St Peter's is about 1 mile north-west of Broadstairs, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the CT10 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. St Peter's is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from St Peter's to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Historic houses near St Peter's include Quex Park (4.2 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
For parties in CT10, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Upton Road, Green Lane and Speke Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Main roads around St Peter's include the A255, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside St Peter's, we also cover Broadstairs (1 mile south-east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Northwood (1 mile south-west), Northdown (1 mile north) and Kingsgate (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Deal (10 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (11 miles south), Whitfield (15 miles south), Sandwich (7 miles south-west) and Aylesham (13 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Crampton Tower (0.7 miles south-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Local schools include The Charles Dickens School (less than half a mile south-east) and Callis Grange Nursery and Infant School (0.6 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include Red Lion pub (within half a mile south-east)
