Fresh fish and chips in Boxley
Fish and chip van for events in Boxley, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Whether it is music and food festivals and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Boxley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Boxley questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Boxley?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station is closest to Boxley?
The closest is Maidstone East station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you do festivals?
Often, yes. Contact us with the details.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer fêtes in Boxley have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
