Questions from Southborough
We’re gathering after a service at St Augustine's Church: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Southborough?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter parties in Southborough get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
