Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Chevening
Which station is closest to Chevening?
Dunton Green station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
Is Chevening close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Chevening, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time

- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot

- Where the event is

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
