The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

East Stourmouth questions
Could you trade in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is East Stourmouth close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
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.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in East Stourmouth, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
