London streets around Single Street can be narrow and lined with parked cars, so a drive, yard or car park is generally simplest. Send us a picture of the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Single Street questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Single Street is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Single Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
