Common questions in Boughton under Blean
Is Boughton under Blean too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to Boughton under Blean?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Boughton under Blean is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
