About our fish and chip van for events in Bluetown
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We are often asked to cater community festivals and church fêtes, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and chips.
At a fête or show near Bluetown, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Bluetown: your questions answered
Is Bluetown too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Bluetown from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Winter fairs in Bluetown are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Bluetown events: pitches and permissions
Bluetown is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Bluetown or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 922 places in Kent. Our bookings stretch from Bluetown to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
