About fish and chip van hire in ME18
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for garden get-togethers and milestone birthday parties.
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch once service starts.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Fish and chip van hire in ME18: local guide
ME18 covers everything from Yalding, Wateringbury and Branbridges to 17 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Yalding: For guests coming by train, Yalding station is about 1 mile away. Thinking of using Quarry Wood? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. In Yalding, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
