Fish and chip van for events in Blue Town, cooked to order
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it’s festivals and fundraisers, we can cook chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Events near Blue Town are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

A chip van compared with other options
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Events in Blue Town and across Kent
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Plan bins near food stalls
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer fêtes in Blue Town have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
