DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Farthing Street
What about parking in Farthing Street?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.

What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Farthing Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
