What affects the price in Northfleet Green
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Northfleet Green questions
Which station is closest to Northfleet Green?
Ebbsfleet International station, about 2 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
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. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
