Fish and chip van hire in Sibertswold, cooked to order
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Whether it’s wakes and celebrations of life and company team days, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Somewhere like Sibertswold, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Bringing the van to Sibertswold
Sibertswold is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Sibertswold or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Sibertswold to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Sibertswold are Goodnestone Park (3.9 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St Andrew, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Sibertswold. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans. Sibertswold is within about 6 miles of the sea, so fish and chips feels right at home here. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What affects the price in Sibertswold

- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it is handed over. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. By late September, sunset in Sibertswold is around 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
