Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Roughway
Which station is closest to Roughway?
The closest is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How far is Roughway from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to Roughway?
We do. Roughway is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. It gets dark in Roughway by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
