How fish and chip van hire works in CT14

Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We serve gravy, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for visits to care homes and day centres and evening wedding food.

The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.

Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

What you will pay

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Planning a chip van in CT14

CT14 covers everything from Dover, Deal and Walmer to 16 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 21 of the places we cover in CT14 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Deal: For a fundraiser at a school like Castle Community College, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Within reach of Deal are historic houses such as Walmer Castle (1.2 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Around midsummer it stays light in Deal until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

CT14 questions

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

Do you take everything away?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

What happens when we hire the van?

The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
