Fresh fish and chips in West Street
How our party fish and chip van works in West Street
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. We are often asked to cater garden get-togethers and get-togethers with old friends, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near West Street, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Party venues around West Street
West Street is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Bookings in West Street come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. West Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from West Street to Canterbury (15 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (4.2 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. A green space like Kiln Wood is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. West Street is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For parties in ME17, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Woodside Green (1 mile south-east), Payden Street (1 mile east), Lenham (1 mile south-west), Warren Street (2 miles east) and Wichling (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (9 miles west), Ashford (10 miles south-east), Canterbury (15 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles north), Whitstable (15 miles north-east) and Faversham (8 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Newnham Castle (3.9 miles north-east).

Questions from West Street
How far is West Street from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like West Street?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
