Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

- What the price includes, item by item
- The van’s size and access needs
- When final numbers are due
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Toy's Hill: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Toy's Hill?

- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Where the van can park in Toy's Hill
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Toy's Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Toy's Hill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 normally simpler.
- 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
