On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. Typical bookings include wrap celebrations and lunch at the unit base, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Knox Bridge can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Knox Bridge: your questions answered
Is Knox Bridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Knox Bridge from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Do you come to Knox Bridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Knox Bridge is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

For event organisers in Knox Bridge
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In December, daylight in Knox Bridge ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
