Fish and chip van hire in TN14: what to expect

Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We’re frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and community events and fairs, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.

First, tell us about your event.
We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Cost

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Fish and chip van hire in TN14: local guide

Across TN14, we serve 3 towns and 22 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Sevenoaks, Otford and Riverhead or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of TN14 are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.

Otford: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Otford Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. If guests are travelling by rail, Otford has its own station, Otford station. Light matters for evening service: around Otford, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Planning the van’s spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

Light near the van and the queue for evening service
A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Confirmation that the van can park there
