Questions from Wormshill
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Wormshill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wormshill?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
