DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- Numbers
- Access and parking
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Three Chimneys stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.

Common questions in Three Chimneys
Which station is closest to Three Chimneys?
Headcorn station, about 3.2 miles north of the centre.
How far is Three Chimneys from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
