Bobbys Our Story

2 years ago we began operating a gluten free, dairy free fish and chip business from a satellite kitchen in Benfleet, Essex. life! Yes Kent council!
(2)

The aim was to be in a mobile van early the next year, 2025. We did exactly that with The van being purchased in the June of 2025. However, we had been shut since February due to …………………………. Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

life ! Bobby used to say that was when everything went wrong, but if you get him talking he’ll tell you himself that it wasn’t when everything went wrong it was simply when everything,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

changed! Every effort to relaunch was met with a constant barrage of …………………………………. In the end Bobby stopped posting the attempts that were being made and tried to keep tackling each obstacle. Even as we write a brand new obstacle has presented itself just hours ago with an engine fault in the van. However, we are not giving up! We have everything in place and are meeting with the health officials of Kent council on June 16th 2026. We’ll explain later but we are relocating for the initial launch, don’t worry Benfleet, Leigh-On-Sea and Hadleigh we will catch up with you very soon but due to costs we have to stay close to Bobbys new home. Van repair depending we will be on the streets of Folkestone during the last week in June, bringing the very best, the very safest to the very coolest people in whatever town we are in. Always Made with Love,

In a change to our usual Friday haunt we will not be at Britannia, Seabrook tomorrow night. Unfortunately we have a bit of an ongoing power issue there but hope to return very soon as we love The Brit!

So instead , we are gonna give the market in Sittingbourne a try.

I don’t have many details at the moment other than the total legend that is Paul Clark has come to our rescue and given us a shot to keep at earning what we need to get Bobby his surgery as quickly as possible x

So you know if you work for yourself and you have time off you don’t eat? Well I threw everything into doing hythe loves life food festival as it was a great way to raise the profile of the business, prostate cancer, men’s mental health and, let’s be real, money.
After the driest summer in a million years it has rained all day and the awesome people in hythe have obviously thought as it’s raining today they’ll come and see Bobby tomorrow, yeah that’ll be it. Nothing to worry about x We Love Hythe Life Food Festival😬 @😳😟
