Questions from Balls Green
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Balls Green from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Balls Green, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
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 usually simpler.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
