Our fish and chip van hire in TN13
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings, especially the evening and staff thank-you lunches.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Pricing in TN13
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Planning a chip van in TN13
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in TN13, so the setting can be anything from Sevenoaks, Riverhead and Greatness to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN13, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.
Sevenoaks: For anyone arriving by rail, Sevenoaks has its own station, Sevenoaks station. A green space like Montreal Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. In Sevenoaks, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order.
Comparing caterers
- How late numbers can change
- The van’s size and access needs
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- VAT, if it applies
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
FAQs for TN13
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
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 tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
