Cotman's Ash questions
Is Cotman's Ash too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Kemsing Down?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
