How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Summer events after work in Little Chart have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:45pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Put allergy details in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Little Chart
Is Little Chart close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
