Halfway Houses: your questions answered
Can the van park in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How far is Halfway Houses from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What does the van 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.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van come to Halfway Houses?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Halfway Houses and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Halfway Houses?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Organising for someone else?
