Kent Street questions
How far is Kent Street from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Kent Street?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you park near the barn?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Flag coeliac guests early
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
