How our party fish and chip van works in Walmer
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and big birthdays, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a place like Walmer, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Walmer, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Walmer: your questions answered
Is Walmer close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Walmer?
The closest is Walmer station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
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 our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Perfect for your party in Walmer
It is a real treat for guests.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

Questions to ask before you book
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The deposit and payment dates
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether there is a minimum
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Walmer
- Curry sauce
