Questions from Tudeley Hale
Which station is closest to Tudeley Hale?
The closest is Tonbridge station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
How far is Tudeley Hale from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will check the date and send a price.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your staff
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
