Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Aldington?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Aldington
Do you come out to small places like Aldington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
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’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
