Fish and chip van hire in Ebbsfleet Valley, cooked to order

There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral.

A place like Ebbsfleet Valley often has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Why book with us

Served hot, straight from the hatch
Nothing for you to cook or clear
A clear quote before you book
A van that becomes part of the event

Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What a fish and chip van costs

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Service time
How easy the site is to reach
Any minimum charge
Distance and any road charges

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.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

Allergies and diets you know about
How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Fish and chip van hire around Ebbsfleet Valley

Ebbsfleet Valley is about 2 miles west of Northfleet, in Kent.

Thinking of using Castle Hill Park? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. PTAs at schools such as Cherry Orchard Primary Academy often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.

For events in DA10, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Local streets include Cherry Orchard, Tomalin Drive and Mackerness Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve events in Betsham (1 mile south), Springhead (1 mile east), Painters Ash (2 miles south-east), Southfleet (2 miles south-east) and Hook Green (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (15 miles south-east), Dartford (3 miles west), Sevenoaks (12 miles south-west), Gravesend (3 miles east), Swanley (6 miles south-west) and Kings Hill (12 miles south).

Nearby you will also find Stone Castle (1.2 miles north-west) and Stone Museum of Geology (2.7 miles west). Open spaces near Ebbsfleet Valley include Chafford Gorges Nature Park and Sawyers Lake.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Tell us how many children are coming
Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Fewer choices mean faster service
Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

Ebbsfleet Valley: your questions answered

Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?

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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can the van park in Castle Hill Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Is grass a problem?

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. By late September, sunset in Ebbsfleet Valley is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
