A fish and chip van across DA3: what to know
There are 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets in DA3, so the setting can be anything from Hartley, New Barn and New Ash Green to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Hartley: If you had Rectory Meadow in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. If guests are travelling by rail, Longfield station is about 0.8 miles away. In Hartley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
How we price a fish and chip van
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
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.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
