Smallbridge questions
How far is Smallbridge from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
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.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For an end-of-day event in Smallbridge, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
