Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Langton Green until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 generally the easier option.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
What affects the price in Langton Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Parties in Langton Green: homes, halls and local tips
Langton Green is about 2 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Across the TN3 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Langton Green is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Langton Green to Brighton (about 26 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Groombridge Place (1.5 miles south-west) and Penshurst Place (3.2 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. For guests coming by train, Tunbridge Wells station is about 2.1 miles away. Langton Green is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in TN3 and TN4 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Ryders, Little Footway and Hazelbank; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve parties in Rusthall (1 mile east), Bullingstone (1 mile north), Speldhurst (1 mile north), Poundsbridge (2 miles north) and Stockland Green (2 miles north-east).

Questions from Langton Green
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can the van come to Langton Green?
We do. Langton Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
