Common questions in Yalding
How far is Yalding from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Yalding
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Whether it is work Christmas parties and new Year parties, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Yalding, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Service time
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
