The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Questions from Lamberhurst Quarter
Is Lamberhurst Quarter too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Lamberhurst Quarter?
Frant station, about 3.3 miles west of the centre.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t 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 areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it is light in Lamberhurst Quarter until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
