Fish and chip van for events in Greenhithe, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and food for volunteers.
Events near Greenhithe are often volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient van helps. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events in Greenhithe have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
