About fish and chip van hire in TN26

Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions in TN26. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and weddings and evening receptions, serving curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips.

Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
  3. On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
  4. Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Prices in TN26

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Planning a chip van in TN26

From Ashford, Hamstreet and Bethersden to 25 villages and hamlets, bookings across TN26 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Hamstreet: Coming by train? There is a station right in Hamstreet: Ham Street station.

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.

About the food

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Who books fish and chip van hire?

People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The van becomes a focal point, and the food is hot and plentiful.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Milestone birthday parties
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Fêtes, fairs and school events
  • Christmas parties

Space, access and the venue

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.

Let everyone know when the food is ready.

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Parking and the way in
  • Your choice of menu
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Service time

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and time of the event

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

TN26 questions

How does fish and chip van hire work?

The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.

Do we need to provide equipment?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Is it a full meal?

It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.

Which fish do you use?

Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
