About our party fish and chip van in Stick Hill
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It’s food every generation enjoys. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater birthday parties and family reunions.
Country parties near Stick Hill suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Let your neighbours know
- Check the street’s parking rules
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Stick Hill parties: what to know
Stick Hill is about 5 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the TN8 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 24 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Hever Castle (1.5 miles north-east) and Chiddingstone Castle (2.5 miles north-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Hever station, about 0.8 miles north. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Stick Hill, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
This part of Kent takes in TN8, so your party can be anywhere in it. Your party could be at a house on Hartfield Road and Eden Hall or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Other places close to Stick Hill we cover include Marsh Green (2 miles west), Cowden (2 miles south), Hammerwood (3 miles south-west), Dormansland (4 miles west) and Dormans Park (5 miles west).

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
