Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Frant: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Frant?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Eridge Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
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 will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Frant?
It needs little from volunteers.

Running an event in Frant
Frant is about 3 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Bookings in Frant come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Frant is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Frant to Brighton (25 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, Frant station, about 1.2 miles north-east, is the nearest station. PTAs at schools such as Frant Church of England Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall. Events in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Frant, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
This part of Kent takes in TN3, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. We can serve an event on streets such as High Street, The Green and Warren Ridge or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include The Platt (1 mile south), Eridge Green (2 miles west), Mark Cross (2 miles south), Town Row (4 miles south-west) and Tidebrook (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Sevenoaks (13 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (3 miles north), Tonbridge (7 miles north), Kings Hill (14 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (8 miles north-east) and Southborough (4 miles north).

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Have other stalls for special diets
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Frant
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- What’s available on the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Frant
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
Step by step
