A fish and chip van or other catering?
A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 typically the easier option.

It suits all ages, from children to older relatives.

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Badgers Mount: your questions answered
Can the van go 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 follow the site rules.
How far is Badgers Mount from London?
Roughly 15 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Badgers Mount is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
