FAQs for Hazel Street
What’s the nearest station to Hazel Street?
Paddock Wood station, about 3.9 miles north of the centre.
Is Hazel Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you cover Hazel Street?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hazel Street is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
