How our party fish and chip van works in Teynham Street
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement parties and anniversary celebrations.
Country parties near Teynham Street suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Common questions in Teynham Street
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Teynham Street close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Teynham Street
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, it’s light in Teynham Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
