Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime bookings in Bekesbourne are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Consider a pre-order list
- Give us break and shift times
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bekesbourne
Do you come out to small places like Bekesbourne?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
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 follow the site rules.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Is grass a problem?
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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Bekesbourne?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Bekesbourne and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
