Fresh fish and chips in East Studdal
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Bookings across Kent, including East Studdal
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Fish and chip van for events in East Studdal, cooked to order
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and club open days, with chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
A fête near East Studdal might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an evening event in East Studdal, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What else we do in East Studdal
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
A few benches near the van help.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
