Planning a chip van in ME14
There are 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets in ME14, so whether your event is in Maidstone, Foley Park and Bearsted or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of ME14 are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.
Foley Park: Nearby historic houses include Stoneacre (2.9 miles south-east) and Leeds Castle (4.8 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. After a service at Church of St Luke, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. In Foley Park, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
A chip van compared with other options
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot.
Comparing caterers
- How much space the van takes up
- A clear list of what’s included
- The deposit and payment dates
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why a fish and chip van works
It suits relaxed, sociable events, where people can wander up when they’re ready.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Work Christmas parties
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Big birthdays
