How our fish and chip van for events works in Breach
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. For club open days and music and food festivals, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
At a field event near Breach, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Running an event in Breach
Breach is about 3 miles east of Gillingham, in Kent. From the centre of Breach to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 19 miles away.
An event in Berengrave Chalk Pit means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council. A school like Newington Church of England Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Within about 7 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

Breach: your questions answered
Is Breach close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter fairs in Breach are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
