Common questions in Littlebourne
Do you come out to small places like Littlebourne?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Littlebourne?
The closest is Bekesbourne station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Midsummer parties in Littlebourne stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

Planning a party in Littlebourne
Littlebourne is about 4 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. We take a fish and chip van for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Littlebourne and nearby villages. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent.
A christening at Church of St Vincent followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. For party guests on the train, Bekesbourne station is about 1.5 miles away.
This part of Kent takes in CT3, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Your party could be at a house on Church Road, High Street and Jubilee Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to parties in Ickham (1 mile east), Wickhambreaux (1 mile north-east), Seaton (1 mile north-east), Bramling (1 mile south-east) and Bekesbourne (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Canterbury (4 miles west), Margate (12 miles north-east), Dover (11 miles south-east), Folkestone (13 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Canterbury Castle (3.9 miles west) and Canterbury Roman Museum (3.6 miles west). Open spaces near Littlebourne include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Basket Makers pub (less than half a mile east)
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
