What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Count children separately
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Dungeness drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
