Leeds questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at St Nicholas's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Let your neighbours know
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Put the menu up by the van.
Party venues around Leeds
Leeds is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Leeds to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 21 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Hollingbourne station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (1 mile east) and Stoneacre (1.3 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Leeds, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We serve parties across the ME17 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your party is on Brogden Crescent, Forge Lane and Gloriette Avenue or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Other places close to Leeds we cover include Ashbank (1 mile north-east), Broomfield (1 mile east), Eyhorne Street (1 mile north-east), Chartway Street (2 miles south) and Kingswood (2 miles south-east).

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. Autumn and winter parties in Leeds get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
