Party fish and chip van in Kingsmead
How our party fish and chip van works in Kingsmead

Country parties near Kingsmead suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Kingsmead: your questions answered
Is Kingsmead close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Kingsmead too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Show us where the van would go
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A few lights around the van look great.
What affects the price in Kingsmead
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
