Party fish and chip van in Stone Street, fried fresh

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Stone Street: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Stone Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- A photo of the parking spot helps
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
