How our party fish and chip van works in Teynham
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. For street parties and neighbourhood events and birthday parties, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In a place like Teynham, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. A summer party in Teynham stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Have a back-up for special diets
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Teynham
Which station is closest to Teynham?
Teynham has its own station: Teynham station.
Is Teynham close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
