About our fish and chip van hire in Great Kingshill
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event in Great Kingshill. For wakes and gatherings after a funeral and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Great Kingshill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

FAQs for Great Kingshill
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Great Kingshill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Plan bins near the queue
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it is handed over. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your guests already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- Service time
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
