Bedgebury Cross: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Bedgebury Cross?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Bedgebury Cross?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Bedgebury Cross have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time

Event catering near Bedgebury Cross
Bedgebury Cross is about 9 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Bookings in Bedgebury Cross come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Bedgebury Cross to Canterbury (about 30 miles away).
Within about 4 miles is the High Weald National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
For events in TN17, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many visitors.

For event organisers in Bedgebury Cross
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Share pitch details
When the event closes, we pack up.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
