Somewhere like Teston, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Teston, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Teston questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to Teston?
We do. Teston is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm the menu.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are 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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
What else we do in Teston
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Count children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
