A chip van near The Brents
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In The Brents, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Questions from The Brents
Can you serve after a service at Faversham Parish Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is The Brents from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
