Chip van hire across CT19
CT19 covers everything from Folkestone, Cheriton and Newington to 1 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. Around 3 places in CT19 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Cheriton: Churches such as Church of All Souls rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like All Soul's Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Planning an evening event in Cheriton? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it’s handed over.
Questions to ask before booking
- A clear list of what’s included
- The deadline for final numbers
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Who books fish and chip van hire?
It suits relaxed, sociable events, where people can wander up when they’re ready.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Christmas parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Big birthdays
Common questions in CT19
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
- 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
