Questions from Seven Kings
What’s the nearest station to Seven Kings?
Seven Kings has its own station: Seven Kings station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Seven Kings?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Working with your venue

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
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.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your crew already know
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose film set catering in Seven Kings?
