The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in East Wickham suit lunchtime.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day

FAQs for East Wickham
Which station is closest to East Wickham?
Welling station, in East Wickham itself.
What about parking in East Wickham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Away from bedroom windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
As a London location, East Wickham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
