For events in a place like Ebbsfleet Valley, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Ebbsfleet Valley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What affects the price in Ebbsfleet Valley
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Numbers
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time

Ebbsfleet Valley: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Ebbsfleet Valley?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station is closest to Ebbsfleet Valley?

What can visitors choose from?

Can the van park on the street?

Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
