How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the space and the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Fosten Green
Can you serve after a service at St Margaret's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Fosten Green?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Fosten Green. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
