Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Hextable
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For charity and fundraising days at work and open days, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
For businesses around Hextable, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hextable
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

How far is Hextable from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.

What do you bring?

Who clears up?
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. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
