Party fish and chip van in Sundridge
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How our party fish and chip van works in Sundridge
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For big birthdays and garden get-togethers, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In a small place like Sundridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Let your neighbours know
After service, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. A summer party in Sundridge stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Common questions in Sundridge
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What affects the price in Sundridge
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges

- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
