Running an event in Bitchet Green
Bitchet Green is about 3 miles south-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Bitchet Green or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price.

A summer fête at St Lawrence is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. If your event is in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Agree the terms in writing
- Agree who removes waste
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events in Bitchet Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
