Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Greater London, including Joyden's Wood
- Something for staff to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. After-work summer events in Joyden's Wood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Joyden's Wood: your questions answered
Could you trade in Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Joyden's Wood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van come to Joyden's Wood?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Joyden's Wood is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
