About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Lynsore Bottom questions
Is Lynsore Bottom close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do you come to Lynsore Bottom?
We do. We serve events in Lynsore Bottom and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
