Fish and chip van hire across TN11
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for birthday celebrations and village fêtes and school fairs.
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
What you will pay
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why book our van
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- Quick service from the hatch

Chip van hire across TN11
Across TN11, we serve 3 towns and 26 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Tonbridge, Hadlow and Hilden Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Hadlow: PTAs at schools such as Hadlow Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (2.6 miles north) and Ightham Mote (3.6 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. By late September, sunset in Hadlow is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in TN11? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork.
What your quote should include
- How allergens are handled
- How many hours the van serves
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How much space the van takes up
How we price a fish and chip van
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your event in TN11, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
TN11: your questions answered
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
