DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A closer look at 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.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
FAQs for Biddenden Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Biddenden Green is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
