A chip van compared with other options
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Westwell Leacon
Is Westwell Leacon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Westwell Leacon from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to Westwell Leacon?
We do. We serve events in Westwell Leacon and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
