From the centre of West Stourmouth to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. West Stourmouth is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from West Stourmouth to Canterbury (7 miles away).
For party guests on the train, the nearest station is Minster station, about 3.7 miles east.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
