Planning an event in Fawkham Green?
Fawkham Green: your questions answered
Is Fawkham Green close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Fawkham Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Do you cover Fawkham Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Fawkham Green is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

How it works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. With darkness by about 3:50pm in December, winter van visits in Fawkham Green suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What affects the price in Fawkham Green
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
