Boughton Lees: your questions answered
Do you come 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.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Lees?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
