A chip van near Frittenden
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
About our fish and chip van hire in Frittenden
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and festive get-togethers, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a rural place like Frittenden, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How we price a fish and chip van
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Where the van can park in Frittenden
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Frittenden is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
