Party fish and chip van in Woodside Green, cooked to order
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and kids’ birthday parties.
A country party near Woodside Green is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Woodside Green
Can the van park in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
