Fresh fish and chips in Chiddingstone Causeway
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Chiddingstone Causeway, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
