For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
New Street: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to New Street?
Meopham station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to New Street?
Yes, we do. New Street is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in New Street?

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. A wake in New Street in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
