Fish and chip van hire across ME13
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for community events and fairs and care home visits.
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Cost
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Fish and chip van hire in ME13: local guide
From Faversham, Davington and Preston to 38 villages and hamlets, bookings across ME13 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. 13 of the places we cover in ME13 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Faversham: Parks such as Oare Meadow usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Ethelbert Road Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Faversham, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the price includes, item by item
- When final numbers are due
- The cancellation terms
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including ME13.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
