Peters Village: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Peters Village?
Snodland station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Could you trade in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where does the van go on location?
Generally, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree how the base is left
- Send the unit base address and directions
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A dining area at base helps.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
