In winter near Richborough Port, we need firm ground and light. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Book as early as possible for December

- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
