In winter near New Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 generally 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 solves that by cooking on site.

A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Questions from New Street
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to New Street?
Meopham station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

- How much space the van takes up
- If the price includes VAT
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan cover for the queue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
Plan cover for the queue.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in New Street in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
