Whether it is wakes and gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthday parties, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
Somewhere like Walter's Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Walter's Green
What’s the nearest station to Walter's Green?
The closest is Ashurst Kent station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Walter's Green from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 generally simpler.
