Fish and chip van for events in Eyhorne Street, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. For summer fairs and agricultural and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Eyhorne Street, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Common questions in Eyhorne Street
Do you trade at school fairs around Eyhorne Street?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer events in Eyhorne Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
