A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your staff already know

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask facilities about access
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. A lunch-break van visit in Sellindge is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote

Common questions in Sellindge
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you cover Sellindge?
Yes, we do. Sellindge is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
