DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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 will confirm what we can provide.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Evening events in Lunsford have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in

Questions from Lunsford
How far is Lunsford from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Settle the pitch terms early
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
What affects the price in Lunsford
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or ME20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
