DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What else we do in West Stourmouth
West Stourmouth: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around West Stourmouth?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to West Stourmouth?
Minster station, about 3.7 miles east of the centre.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
Send us the date, the address or CT3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
