Fresh fish and chips in Brasted
Fish and chip van for events in Brasted, fried fresh
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Whether it’s food for volunteers and festivals, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Brasted need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. December events in Brasted lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
FAQs for Brasted
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about parking in Brasted?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event usually works with traders, and we will find something that works.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Brasted?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Brasted and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Brasted is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
