Payden Street questions
Is Payden Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Payden Street?
Lenham station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Payden Street.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
