Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Typical bookings include christmas parties and evening wedding food, with haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In a small place like Boughton under Blean, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
