A chip van near Adisham
About our fish and chip van for events in Adisham
Food is fried to order, so nothing sits waiting. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater horse and dog shows and village fêtes.
For a village fête or field event near Adisham, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Tell us about the pitch
We set up before visitors arrive.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. At midsummer, events in Adisham stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Space for a queue away from paths
- What’s available on the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
For event organisers in Adisham
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Adisham: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Adisham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
