Common questions in Kent Street
Is Kent Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
