Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Show us where the van would go
- Put allergy details in writing
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A few lights around the van look great.

Questions from Cliffs End
What’s the nearest station to Cliffs End?
Thanet Parkway station, in Cliffs End itself.
Could you trade in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
