FAQs for South Alkham
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is South Alkham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in South Alkham
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year club parties and festive open days, with cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
In winter near South Alkham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
