A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and summer garden parties, with mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Biddenden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Biddenden: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Biddenden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, generally. Let us know numbers and ages.
Cannot 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.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Check the street’s parking rules
Keep the queue away from the road.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Planning the van’s spot

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
