Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Lower Cox Street, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Lower Cox Street questions
Which station is closest to Lower Cox Street?
The closest is Bearsted station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
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.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lower Cox Street.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Flag any coeliac staff
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
