What else we do in Glassenbury
Fish and chip van hire around Glassenbury
Glassenbury is about 10 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Glassenbury and the surrounding area. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 28 miles away.
A green space like Crane Valley is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Nearby historic houses include Scotney Castle (4 miles west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Glassenbury, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Glassenbury?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cover Glassenbury and the whole of Kent
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. By late September, sunset in Glassenbury is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
