About our party fish and chip van in Tudeley
Guests who do not know each other end up chatting in the queue. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
A country party near Tudeley is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Tudeley
How far is Tudeley from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van come to Tudeley?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Tudeley and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Autumn and winter parties in Tudeley get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Tudeley? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
