Fish and chip van hire in Biddenden Green, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We are often asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and festive get-togethers, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Biddenden Green, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Biddenden Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm 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.

Common questions in Biddenden Green
Is Biddenden Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van come to Biddenden Green?
We do. Biddenden Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
