Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Badgers Mount
Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in Badgers Mount are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
