Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

West Farleigh questions
Can the van park in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is West Farleigh close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Do you come to West Farleigh?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including West Farleigh and the rest of Kent. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why West Farleigh hosts choose us
- Something for guests to gather round
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
