About our corporate fish and chip catering in Bowmans

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Bowmans
How far is Bowmans from London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Could you trade in Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cover Bowmans?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bowmans. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
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 will tell you what we can offer.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Bowmans is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bowmans?
