Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Street End?
Canterbury East station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In summer, Street End has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Count families who are joining in
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
