Questions from Chilham
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Broadham Down?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Chilham
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for charity and fundraising days at work and customer days.
At country workplaces around Chilham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
