A chip van near Rushenden
Common questions in Rushenden
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Rushenden?
The closest is Queenborough station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in Rushenden
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
