Fish and chip van for events for your event in Bredhurst
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and fundraisers, with chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
At a fête or show near Bredhurst, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What affects the price in Bredhurst
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in Bredhurst 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 photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
