Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a staff lunch in West Kingsdown, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Common questions in West Kingsdown
Can the van go 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.
What’s the nearest station to West Kingsdown?
Eynsford station, about 2.6 miles north-west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in West Kingsdown? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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 normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
