Party fish and chip van for Teston events
Party fish and chip van in Teston, fried fresh
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Teston, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Teston: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Teston?
Wateringbury station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, typically. Let us know numbers and ages.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Teston drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Teston hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Teston and the whole of Kent
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
Perfect for your party in Teston
Hot food beats a buffet that’s been out for hours, especially as the evening cools.
