Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Crockhurst Street
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Crockhurst Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Crockhurst Street?

What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
How early do summer dates go?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Crockhurst Street drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
