Fish and chip van hire for your event in New Ash Green
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and work Christmas parties, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like New Ash Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What affects the price in New Ash Green
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
New Ash Green: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is New Ash Green close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in New Ash Green. In New Ash Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
