About our fish and chip van hire in Bossingham
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 cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for garden parties and summer get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches.
In a hamlet or village like Bossingham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Bringing the van to Bossingham
Bossingham is about 6 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Bossingham is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
Coming by train? The nearest station is Chartham station, about 4.8 miles north-west. Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (4.9 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Bossingham. Ask your venue about vehicle access.
We serve events across CT4. Local streets include The Street, Bossingham Street and Manns Hill; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to events in Stelling Minnis (1 mile south-west), Waltham (2 miles west), Rhodes Minnis (4 miles south), Stowting Common (4 miles south-west) and Ottinge (4 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Ashford (10 miles south-west), Canterbury (6 miles north), Dover (10 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south-east), Whitstable (11 miles north) and Deal (14 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Kent and Canterbury Hospital (4.7 miles north).
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
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.

- The address or venue name
