Questions from Hale Street
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Hale Street?
The closest is Yalding station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hale Street?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

- Access and parking

What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Show us where the van would go
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
