About the food

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.

What affects the price in Kent Street

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The date and time of year
  • How easy the site is to reach

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your party in Kent Street, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Questions from Kent Street

Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Kent Street close to London?

About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

How long will the queue be?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

What’s on the menu?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

15 questions to ask before you book

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Send us a photo of the drive
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
  • Tell the neighbours the van is coming
  • Tell us how many children are coming

Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

The process

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Kent Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Clear the route for the van
