Party fish and chip van in Westbrook, cooked to order
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for garden parties and summer get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood events.
In a place like Westbrook, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. For a late-May party in Westbrook, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Westbrook is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Westbrook to Canterbury (14 miles away).
