Fish and chip van for events for Bullingstone events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Bullingstone
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. Typical bookings include horse and dog shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A fête near Bullingstone might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Summer fêtes in Bullingstone have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Bullingstone questions
Do you come out to small places like Bullingstone?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Bullingstone?
Tunbridge Wells station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- Events in Bullingstone and across Kent
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
