Party fish and chip van in Wittersham, cooked to order
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It’s food every generation enjoys. For street parties and neighbourhood events and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Wittersham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Hosting a chip van party in Wittersham
Wittersham is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your party is in the middle of Wittersham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve 922 places in Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Wittersham to Canterbury (24 miles away).
If the day starts at Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Within reach of Wittersham are historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (1.6 miles north) and Lamb House (4.7 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Wittersham
Is Wittersham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Wittersham?
The closest is Rye station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
