Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Show us where the van would go
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
With children, food about an hour in works well.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
North Street: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to North Street?
The closest is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
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 tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you park at our house?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In North Street, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
