About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For an evening event in East Wickham, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

FAQs for East Wickham
Which station is closest to East Wickham?
East Wickham has its own station: Welling station.
Could you trade in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
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 fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
