What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
For event organisers in Kennington
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Flag coeliac guests early
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Common questions in Kennington
Which station is closest to Kennington?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at St Swithun's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Kennington?
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What to tell us

- Allergies and diets you know about

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
