Fresh fish and chips in Queenborough
Fish and chip van hire in Queenborough, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and garden get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Around Queenborough, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Queenborough questions
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Queenborough from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
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.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- A short menu helps everyone
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
A short menu keeps service quick.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cover Queenborough and the whole of Kent
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Queenborough, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
