How our fish and chip van for events works in Bromley Green
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. For school summer fairs and food for volunteers, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At a fête or show near Bromley Green, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Bromley Green
Is Bromley Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Other occasions in Bromley Green
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter fairs in Bromley Green are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

- Plan bins near food stalls

- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
