West Street questions
Do you come 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.
Could you trade in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Corporate fish and chip catering in West Street, fried fresh
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. For customer days and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near West Street, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
