About our fish and chip van hire in Larkfield
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. That is why a van works for so many kinds of event in Larkfield. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater company team days and weddings and evening receptions.
Somewhere like Larkfield, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evenings in Larkfield stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Larkfield questions
Is Larkfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
