Fish and chip van for events for your event in Dunton Green
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and sports club events and race days.
At a fête or show near Dunton Green, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Dunton Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready

Where the van can park in Dunton Green
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- What’s available on the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Dunton Green hosts choose us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote
FAQs for Dunton Green
Do you trade at school fairs around Dunton Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
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’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Frequently, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Do you come to Dunton Green?
Yes, we do. Dunton Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
