Fresh fish and chips in Flemings
How we price a fish and chip van
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Fish and chip van hire in Flemings, fried fresh
There is something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it is wakes and gatherings after a funeral and visits to care homes and day centres, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips and more.
In a hamlet or village like Flemings, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
A short menu keeps service quick.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Flemings?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Light matters for evening service: around Flemings, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
Flemings: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Flemings?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
