Running an event in Bullockstone
Bullockstone is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT6 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Bullockstone is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Thornden Wood Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. A summer fête at Church of St Martin is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. With the sea within about 2 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
This part of Kent takes in CT6. We also bring the van to events in Herne Common (1 mile south-east), Eddington (1 mile north-east), Herne (1 mile east), Greenhill (1 mile north-west) and Hunters Forstal (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (5 miles south), Margate (12 miles east), Ramsgate (13 miles east), Broadstairs (14 miles east), Whitstable (4 miles west) and Deal (15 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (2.9 miles west) and Tankerton Castle (3.6 miles west). Within reach you’ll find West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby schools include Herne Bay High School (0.8 miles north)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Share And Coulter Public House (0.9 miles west)

FAQs for Bullockstone
Can you come to a school fair in Bullockstone?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A few benches near the van help.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
