Fish and chip van hire in Whitehill, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Somewhere as small as Whitehill, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
FAQs for Whitehill
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Whitehill?
Faversham station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- Access wide and high enough for the van

The menu, dish by dish
