Kent Street: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Kent Street close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can the van come to Kent Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kent Street and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. It gets dark in Kent Street by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

What else we do in Kent Street
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
