Fish and chip van hire in Faversham, fried fresh
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. For wakes and gatherings after a funeral and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Drives in Faversham range from short to sweeping, and most work with some planning. If not, a nearby hall or club car park often does. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
For event organisers in Faversham
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
FAQs for Faversham
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Faversham close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Faversham is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
