Fresh fish and chips in Kings Hill
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Party fish and chip van in Kings Hill, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and family reunions, serving gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips.
Parties around Kings Hill are frequently relaxed garden affairs. The van fits right in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Count children separately
- Confirm allergies by email
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Kings Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Questions from Kings Hill
What’s the nearest station to Kings Hill?
The closest is West Malling station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
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.
