How fish and chip van hire works in TN30
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and weddings, especially the evening, with cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
What it costs in TN30

Tenterden: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Parish Church of St Mildred, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Tenterden Infant School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Tenterden stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
Your questions about a fish and chip van in TN30
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot 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
