Fish and chip van for events in Hareplain, cooked to order
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for crew and volunteer catering and club open days.
For a village fête or field event near Hareplain, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. 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.
What else we do in Hareplain
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Display allergens for each stall
- Give us an idea of numbers

If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

FAQs for Hareplain
Is Hareplain too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Hareplain?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
What do you need on the pitch?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you come to Hareplain?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Hareplain and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
