Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Chilmington Green events: pitches and permissions
Chilmington Green is about 2 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Chilmington Green is well within our area, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time.

Events anywhere in TN23 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. We can serve an event on streets such as Mock Lane, Oakwood Mews and Hays Mews or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Give us an idea of numbers
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer events in Chilmington Green have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
