Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Party fish and chip van for your party in Stanford
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. For naming days and christenings and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Stanford, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

- Arrange an alternative if needed

About the food

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Stanford?
It feels like a treat, and it gets people talking.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Christenings and naming days
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Leaving parties
- Neighbourhood get-togethers

Stanford parties: what to know
Stanford is about 3 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the TN25 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. Stanford is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Stanford to Canterbury (12 miles away).
After a christening at a church like All Saints Church, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Historic houses near Stanford include Westenhanger Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Acrise Place (4.8 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Stanford, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside, and we always plan for wind.
This part of Kent takes in TN25, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. We can serve a party on streets such as Stone Street and Kennett Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve parties in Postling (1 mile north-east), Sellindge (2 miles west), Moorstock (2 miles north-west), Skeete (2 miles north-east) and Woodland (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (8 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (12 miles east), Folkestone (6 miles east), Hythe (3 miles south-east) and Tower Hamlets (11 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Hythe Museum (2.9 miles south-east) and Royal Victoria Hospital (5.8 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park and Tolsford Hill.

- Lighting nearby for evening events

The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Stanford until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
