Questions from Frittenden
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Frittenden?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Autumn and winter parties in Frittenden get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day

What else we do in Frittenden
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
