Questions from Benover
What’s the nearest station to Benover?
Yalding station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Benover from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime staff treats in Benover are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- How far we travel
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
