Fish and chip van hire in East Wickham, fried fresh
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We are often asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In East Wickham, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices

East Wickham questions
What about parking in East Wickham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to East Wickham?
Welling station, in East Wickham itself.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Late September evenings in East Wickham lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
