How our party fish and chip van works in Street End
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Whether it is family parties with children and get-togethers with old friends, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In a small place like Street End, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Street End questions
Is Street End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

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.
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 generally the easier option.
