A chip van near Wrotham Heath
Fish and chip van hire in Wrotham Heath, fried fresh
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include birthday celebrations and Fêtes, fairs and school events, with pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Somewhere like Wrotham Heath, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Wrotham Heath
Is Wrotham Heath too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
