Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Show us where the van would go
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
FAQs for East Farleigh
Is East Farleigh close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of Saint Mary?
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 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.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in East Farleigh?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in East Farleigh stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
