Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Stocker's Head: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Stocker's Head?
Charing station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll 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. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event. Summer events after work in Stocker's Head have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
