A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat in Cliffs End. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- A clear quote before booking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your staff already know

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Common questions in Cliffs End
Could you trade in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
