Questions from Offham
What’s the nearest station to Offham?
The closest is West Malling station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
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 areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Offham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
