A chip van near Sittingbourne
Questions from Sittingbourne
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Sittingbourne?
We do. We serve events in Sittingbourne and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Contact us with the date.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Send people out in groups in the cold.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Events in Sittingbourne and across Kent
- Quick service from the hatch
