How our fish and chip van hire works in Bexon
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and community events and fairs, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Somewhere as small as Bexon, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Bexon
Can the van park in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. By late September, sunset in Bexon is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
