What affects the price in Four Elms
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Fish and chip van hire in Four Elms, cooked to order
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include care home visits and Fêtes, fairs and school events, with curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
For a rural spot like Four Elms, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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 guests instead.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Organising a club, school or community event in Four Elms? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Four Elms, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Four Elms questions
Can the van park in Bough Beech Reservoir?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Four Elms close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you come to Four Elms?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Four Elms and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Count children separately
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
