For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
FAQs for Stocks Green
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St John: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Stocks Green from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Around midsummer it stays light in Stocks Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
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 send us your details through our quote form.

School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Hildenborough Church of England Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. If you had Haysden Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Stocks Green?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Stocks Green hosts choose us
- We cover Stocks Green and the whole of Kent
- All the chip-shop extras
- No surprises in your quote
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
