Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities about access
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Lunchtime staff treats in Egerton Forstal are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Egerton Forstal: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Egerton Forstal?
The closest is Pluckley station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How far is Egerton Forstal from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
