What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Weavering stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Weavering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
