DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Common questions in Marlpit Hill
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Marlpit Hill?
Edenbridge station, in Marlpit Hill itself.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Do you cover Marlpit Hill?
We do. We serve events in Marlpit Hill and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Pie and chips
