Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an end-of-day event in Swanley Village, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
