Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why Shalmsford Street hosts choose us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Something for staff to gather round
- A clear quote before booking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Questions from Shalmsford Street
Is Shalmsford Street close to London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Shalmsford Street?
The closest is Chartham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. In Shalmsford 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
