What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

South Darenth: your questions answered
Can the van park in Darenth Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is South Darenth from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to South Darenth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and South Darenth is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In South Darenth, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
