If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Sevenoaks Weald
Do you come out to small places like Sevenoaks Weald?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Sevenoaks Weald?
Hildenborough station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sevenoaks Weald.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your crew already know
See our prices page and the cost guide.
