- 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, and how it gets in.
- 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?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Garlinge questions
Is Garlinge close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Garlinge?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Where will the van go on our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Organising for someone else?
