Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Foxbury?
It needs no kitchen, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Staff lunches and team days
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Work Christmas parties
Within reach of Foxbury are historic houses such as Eltham Palace (2.6 miles north-west) and Danson House (2.9 miles north-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking.

Foxbury: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
