How fish and chip van hire works in TN25
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for milestone birthday parties and weddings and evening receptions.
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.

A fish and chip van across TN25: what to know
TN25 covers everything from Ashford, Kennington and Godinton to 42 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN25, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. 9 of the places we cover in TN25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue.
Finberry: For a fundraiser at a school like Finberry Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. If you had Ashford Green Corridors in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Planning an evening event in Finberry? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Why a fish and chip van works
There’s no kitchen needed, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where other catering struggles.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Milestone birthday parties
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Work Christmas parties
- Staff thank-you lunches
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
