Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Questions from Tonge Corner
Which station is closest to Tonge Corner?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Tonge Corner?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Tonge Corner?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Tonge Corner. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Bookings across Kent, including Tonge Corner
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
