The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
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
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

- Rough numbers for adults and children

Is Teynham Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What happens when we hire the van?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tell people when the van opens.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Teynham Street until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, 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, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
