How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Midsummer parties in Pembury stay bright until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Pembury questions
We’re gathering after a service at Upper Church of St Peter: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Pembury?
High Brooms station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Show us where the van would go
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
