Our fish and chip van hire in ME16
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for community events and fairs and staff lunches and team days.
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
What you’ll pay
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cover ME16 and the whole of Kent
- Quick service from the hatch
