About fish and chip van hire in Medway

We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and festive get-togethers, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

A fish and chip van across Medway: what to know

There are 5 towns and 48 villages and hamlets in Medway, so whether your event is in Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Gillingham: PTAs at schools such as Featherby Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Among the historic houses close to Gillingham are Restoration House (3.3 miles west) and Temple Manor (4 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. In Gillingham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests

A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park.

What your quote should include

  • Whether there’s a minimum
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • Allergen information for each item
  • The deposit and payment dates

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Medway

How much does a fish and chip van cost in Medway?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Can we choose cod or haddock?

We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.

Where can the van park?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Can you feed plenty of people?

It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
