Rushenden is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Rushenden to Canterbury (17 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Queenborough School and Nursery, can book the van as a food stall. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.

Evenings in Rushenden stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van

- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Allergies and diets you know about

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Rushenden
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 typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Rushenden?
The closest is Queenborough station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
