Party fish and chip van in Westwell, cooked to order
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for street parties and kids’ birthday parties.
In a small place like Westwell, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up.
A few lights around the van look great.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Westwell is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Common questions in Westwell
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
