A chip van near Bethersden
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Pluckley station, about 2 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Bethersden?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
