Planning a chip van in ME4
Across ME4, we serve 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Luton: Parks such as Gillingham Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. After a service at Saint Paul with All Saints, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Late September evenings in Luton lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

- Weddings, especially the evening
- Work Christmas parties

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Questions from ME4
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
