FAQs for Hall's Green
Can the van park in Bough Beech Reservoir?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come to Hall's Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hall's Green. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What the van needs
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:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A queue area clear of trucks
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Why Hall's Green hosts choose us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your crew already know
- No surprises in your quote
- Hot food handed straight over
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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’s crisp.
