What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Party fish and chip van in Garlinge Green, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and street parties and neighbourhood events.
A country party near Garlinge Green is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Garlinge Green questions
Which station is closest to Garlinge Green?
Chartham station, about 1.8 miles north of the centre.
How far is Garlinge Green from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
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 if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Garlinge Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
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:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let your neighbours know
- Confirm allergies by email

Plan cover in case of showers.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Garlinge Green until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
