Fish and chip van for events in Green Street Green, fried fresh
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for sports days and country shows.
At a field event near Green Street Green, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why book with us
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A quote that spells everything out

Green Street Green questions
Is Green Street Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
