Party fish and chip van in Throwley, cooked to order
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. We serve curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and family celebrations after a christening.
Near Throwley, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Throwley
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it is light in Throwley until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
