About fish and chip van hire in DA12
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings, especially the evening and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.

Fish and chip van hire in DA12: local guide
DA12 covers everything from Gravesend, Windmill Hill and Milton-next-Gravesend to 11 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Gravesend: For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Christ Church Milton, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Whitehill Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Planning an evening event in Gravesend? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Events we cater in DA12
There’s no kitchen needed, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in DA12 and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Milestone birthday parties
- Staff lunches and team days
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park.
