Lunchtime bookings in Boxley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Boxley?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
