Common questions in Temple Ewell
Is Temple Ewell close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or CT16 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us break and shift times
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Consider a pre-order list
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Before you choose a spot
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:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. After-work summer events in Temple Ewell have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
