Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Fish and chip van hire in Kingsash, cooked to order
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We are frequently asked to cater company team days and garden get-togethers, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
Somewhere as small as Kingsash, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

FAQs for Kingsash
Can you serve after a service at Old Church of St John the Baptist?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Kingsash from London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kingsash.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before booking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Around midsummer it stays light in Kingsash until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
