Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Set a time for helpers’ food
When the event closes, we pack up.

Fish and chip van for events in Barnehurst, fried fresh
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Typical bookings include church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports club events and race days, serving chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Barnehurst, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Barnehurst: your questions answered
Could you trade in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Barnehurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Barnehurst.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.

For event organisers in Barnehurst
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
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.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Winter fairs in Barnehurst are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
