Party fish and chip van for Wrotham events
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Wrotham, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or TN15 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Wrotham parties: what to know
Wrotham is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Around Wrotham, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 22 miles away.
Parks such as Trosley Country Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. After a christening at a church like Church of St George, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Wrotham, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We take the van to parties all over TN15 and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Old London Road and West Street; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Questions from Wrotham
Can the van park in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come 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 follow the site rules.
Do you come to Wrotham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Wrotham is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
