DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

What affects the price in Rolvenden
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- Numbers

Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree the terms in writing
Plan where the queue forms.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Common questions in Rolvenden
Is Rolvenden close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Rolvenden?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Rolvenden are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
