Questions from Edenbridge
Which station is closest to Edenbridge?
Edenbridge has its own station: Edenbridge Town station.
Is Edenbridge close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can the van come to Edenbridge?
Yes, we do. Edenbridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
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.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A few benches near the van help.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Edenbridge have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
