Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Burham
Do you trade at school fairs around Burham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station is closest to Burham?
The closest is Snodland station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you cover Burham?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Burham and across Medway. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
