The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Garden visits in Statenborough work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

Common questions in Statenborough
Which station is closest to Statenborough?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is Statenborough 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.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Send us the date, the address or CT14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
