How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Sheldwich, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
When service is finished, we pack up.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why Sheldwich hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Something for staff to gather round
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
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. 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 Sheldwich
Do you come out to small places like Sheldwich?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Sheldwich?
The closest is Selling station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Sheldwich?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Sheldwich is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your staff
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
