- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- A photo of the parking spot helps
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cover Linkhill and the whole of Kent

- A menu almost everyone likes

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
