Fish and chip van hire for Borough Green events
Fish and chip van hire in Borough Green, cooked to order
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for milestone birthday parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Around Borough Green, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Questions from Borough Green

Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come 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.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?

What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.
