How our fish and chip van for events works in Bredgar
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. We’re frequently asked to cater sports days and community festivals, with curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
A fête near Bredgar might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Bredgar stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us about the pitch
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- What’s available on the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Bredgar questions
Do you come out to small places like Bredgar?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Bredgar?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
