About fish and chip van hire in CT12
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for festive get-togethers and care home visits.
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

A fish and chip van across CT12: what to know
From Ramsgate, Broadstairs and St Lawrence to 11 villages and hamlets, bookings across CT12 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Around 18 places in CT12 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Newington: Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (3.4 miles west). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. For a fundraiser at a school like Ramsgate Arts Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. By late September, sunset in Newington is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

- The van’s size and access needs
- The cancellation terms
- Whether there’s a minimum

Questions from CT12
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in CT12?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
