Kenardington: your questions answered
Is Kenardington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Can the van come to Kenardington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Kenardington is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
