Fish and chip van hire in Hunton, cooked to order
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and visits to care homes and day centres, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
In a rural place like Hunton, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.

Hunton questions
Which station is closest to Hunton?
The closest is Yalding station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you come to Hunton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hunton. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Late September evenings in Hunton lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Hunton: venues, parking and local tips
Hunton is about 4 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. People in Hunton book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve all 922 towns and villages across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 27 miles away.
Churches such as St Mary's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Yalding station, roughly 2.1 miles west of the centre.
For events in ME15, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

Close by, we cover events in Benover (1 mile west), Yalding (1 mile north-west), Congelow (1 mile west), Chainhurst (1 mile south-east) and Laddingford (2 miles west).

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hunton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
