Questions from Burmarsh
What’s the nearest station to Burmarsh?
Westenhanger station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Burmarsh too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Burmarsh parties: what to know
Burmarsh is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Bookings in Burmarsh come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Burmarsh is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Burmarsh to Canterbury (16 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Burmarsh are Westenhanger Castle (3.5 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of All Saints, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
This part of Kent takes in TN29, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. We can serve a party on streets such as Church Road, Painesfield Close and Thorndike Road, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Postling Green (3 miles north-west), St Mary's Bay (3 miles south), Newchurch (3 miles west), St Mary in the Marsh (3 miles south-west) and Aldington (4 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles north-west), Dover (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (8 miles east), Hythe (4 miles north-east), Tower Hamlets (14 miles north-east) and Hawkinge (8 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Hythe Museum (4 miles east) and Lympne Castle (2 miles north-east).
- Pubs nearby include The Shepherd And Crook Public House (less than half a mile north-west)
For event organisers in Burmarsh
