Our fish and chip van hire in TN17
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for weddings and evening receptions and christmas parties.
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
What you’ll pay
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why book our van
- Bookings across Kent, including TN17
- A van that becomes part of the event

Chip van hire across TN17
There are 3 towns and 27 villages and hamlets in TN17, so the setting can be anything from Cranbrook, Goudhurst and Benenden to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Parts of TN17 are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.
Cranbrook: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Congregational Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Cranbrook School, can book the van as a food stall. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Cranbrook, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
Planners, venues and businesses

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork.

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Questions from TN17
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including TN17.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
