Burlings: your questions answered
How far is Burlings from London?
About 15 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What affects the price in Burlings
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Where the van can park in Burlings
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover Burlings and the whole of Kent
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Burlings have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
