Ramsgate: your questions answered
Is Ramsgate close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Ramsgate?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
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.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
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.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your staff
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
