Fish and chip van hire in Allhallows, fried fresh
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. For visits to care homes and day centres and festive get-togethers, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
For a rural spot like Allhallows, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
A chip van compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. 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.
Why Allhallows hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Allhallows: venues, parking and local tips
Allhallows is in Medway. For events in Allhallows, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 68 towns and villages in Medway. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 23 miles away.
After a service at Church of All Saints, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Allhallows Primary Academy, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
Anywhere in ME3, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include St Andrew's Walk, Avery Way and St Matthew's Way, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve events in Allhallows-on-Sea (1 mile north-east), Lower Stoke (1 mile south), Middle Stoke (1 mile south), Stoke (2 miles south-west) and St Mary Hoo (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Gillingham (7 miles south-west), Chatham (9 miles south-west), Rochester (8 miles south-west), Rainham (8 miles south), Strood (9 miles south-west) and Luton (8 miles south-west).

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Where the van can park in Allhallows
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Allhallows
What’s the nearest station to Allhallows?
Chalkwell station, about 5 miles north of the centre.
Is Allhallows too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Medway. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you cover Allhallows?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Allhallows is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Late September evenings in Allhallows lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Count children separately
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
