Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hoe
Could you trade in Colekitchen Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hoe?
Gomshall station, about 1.1 miles north of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
What affects the price in Hoe
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Hoe, and we will check the date and send a price.
How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For a staff lunch in Hoe, 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Hoe
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
