The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Brenzett, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:45pm, to late September, around 7:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Brenzett?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Events in Brenzett and across Kent
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen needed
