Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Painter's Forstal
What’s the nearest station to Painter's Forstal?
The closest is Faversham station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Painter's Forstal too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Where the van can park in Painter's Forstal
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For an end-of-day event in Painter's Forstal, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
