What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Kevington
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It’s food every generation enjoys. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and retirement parties.
Most parties in Kevington are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

For event organisers in Kevington
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Kevington parties: what to know
Kevington is about 1 mile east of Orpington, in Greater London. Anywhere in BR5, we can bring the van to you. Kevington is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Kevington to London (13 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that St Mary Cray station, about 1.4 miles north-west, is the nearest station. A christening at Unity Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Kevington is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
This part of Greater London takes in BR5, so your party can be anywhere in it. Whether your party is on Crockenhill Road and Sheepcote Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Kevington, we also cover Derry Downs (1 mile west), Crockenhill (1 mile east), St Mary Cray (1 mile west), Orpington (1 mile west) and Poverest (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (13 miles north-west), City of Westminster (15 miles north-west), Marylebone (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (15 miles north-west), Shoreditch (13 miles north-west) and Walthamstow (15 miles north-west).

- Schools near Kevington include Harris Academy Orpington (1.2 miles south-west) and The Priory School (1.2 miles south-west)
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Put allergy details in writing
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Kevington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Kevington questions
What about parking in Kevington?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you serve after a service at Unity Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you cover Kevington?
We do. Kevington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
