Questions from Charing Hill
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- We cover Charing Hill and the whole of Kent
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No surprises in your quote
- Hot food handed straight over

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
