Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Little Chart Forstal
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Little Chart Forstal?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
