How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Plan your Christmas party in Kenardington around the dark: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning help
Kenardington: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Kenardington?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Kenardington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
For event organisers in Kenardington
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
