Party fish and chip van for Wigmore events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Party fish and chip van in Wigmore, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. For christenings and naming days and family parties with children, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In a place like Wigmore, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wigmore?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Wigmore hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No surprises in your quote
- A van that becomes part of the event
Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or ME8 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Wigmore questions
Which station is closest to Wigmore?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you come to Wigmore?
Yes, we do. Wigmore is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let your neighbours know
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party in Wigmore. Midsummer parties in Wigmore stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Wigmore parties: what to know
Wigmore is about 1 mile south-east of Gillingham, in Medway. From the centre of Wigmore to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve 68 places across Medway. We serve events right across the region, from Wigmore to Canterbury (22 miles away).
If the day starts at St Paul's Church, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Nearby historic houses include Restoration House (4.4 miles north-west).

The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Wigmore, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We serve parties across the ME8 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a party at a home on Durham Road, Harvey Road and Arthur Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Wigmore we cover include Park Wood (1 mile south), Hempstead (1 mile west), Twydall (1 mile north), Gillingham (1 mile north-west) and Capstone (2 miles west).
