How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Kent Street, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
There is 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.

- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park

Planning a team lunch in Kent Street
Kent Street is about 6 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. Staff events in Kent Street are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Kent Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Kent Street to London (about 26 miles away).
For staff and visitors coming by train, the closest railway station is Wateringbury station, roughly 2.1 miles south-east of the centre. Kent Street is about 26 miles from central London.
For staff events in ME18, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. Your staff event could be at a house on Kent Street and Malling Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. For staff events just outside Kent Street, we cover Herne Pound (1 mile south-west), Mereworth (1 mile south), New Pound (1 mile west), Pizien Well (1 mile south-east) and Swanton (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (6 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (9 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (11 miles north) and Tonbridge (7 miles south-west).
A little further out are Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.5 miles north-west) and Maidstone Hospital (4.3 miles east).
- Pubs nearby include The Queens Head Public House (under half a mile south-west)
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. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Consider a pre-order list
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
