About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Robertsbridge
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for staff thank-you lunches and community events and fairs.
Somewhere as small as Robertsbridge, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Robertsbridge, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or TN32 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
