Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Put the menu up by the van.

For children, there’s sausage and chips, so nobody needs a separate meal. For milestone birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips and more.
Around Willington, a garden and a drive is all you need. A chip van fits right in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Questions from Willington
We’re gathering after a service at St Martin's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Willington?
Bearsted station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Willington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Willington is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
