A fish and chip van across ME6: what to know

ME6 covers everything from Snodland, Holborough and Paddlesworth to 1 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.

Snodland: Historic houses near Snodland include Starkey Castle (2.5 miles north) and Cobham College (4.5 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. After a service at Church of the New Jerusalem, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. In Snodland, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event.
