The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. A lunch-break van visit in Blue Town is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.

- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.

Blue Town: your questions answered
Is Blue Town close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Blue Town?
Blue Town has its own station: Sheerness-On-Sea station.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
