Planning a chip van in CT6
There are 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets in CT6, so whether your event is in Herne Bay, Greenhill and Beltinge or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. 16 of the places we cover in CT6 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.
Herne Bay: Parks such as Curtis Wood normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. PTAs at schools such as Herne Bay Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Evenings in Herne Bay stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it is handed over.

Common questions in CT6
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
