About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Questions from Rodmersham Green
Is Rodmersham Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come to Rodmersham Green?
Yes, we do. Rodmersham Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. 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 event.

What happens on the day

- Send us 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
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
