Fish and chip van hire in Knox Bridge
Fish and chip van hire in Knox Bridge, 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. For fish and chip days at care homes and weddings, especially the evening, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In a rural place like Knox Bridge, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

FAQs for Knox Bridge
What’s the nearest station to Knox Bridge?
Staplehurst station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
