Your questions about a fish and chip van in Bredgar
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Bredgar?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Do you come to Bredgar?
We do. We serve events in Bredgar and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
