FAQs for Richborough Port
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Richborough Port?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
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.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event.

A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
