A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Royal Tunbridge Wells
How far is Royal Tunbridge Wells from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
