Fish and chip van hire in CT3: what to expect
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and garden get-togethers.
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Near you in Aylesham
In Aylesham, that can mean an event near St Peter and Aylesham Primary School, among other places. Aylesham has its own railway station: Aylesham station. Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles north-west).
A fish and chip van across CT3: what to know
There are 3 towns and 51 villages and hamlets in CT3, so the setting can be anything from Canterbury, Aylesham and Ash to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Around 21 places in CT3 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Aylesham: For guests coming by train, there is a station right in Aylesham: Aylesham station. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (1.6 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. By late September, sunset in Aylesham is around 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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 nobody has to miss the event.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- A spot near your guests
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.

Questions from CT3
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in CT3?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
