About our fish and chip van for events in Heaverham
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. Whether it’s festivals and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
At a fête or show near Heaverham, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. In Heaverham, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day

What else we do in Heaverham
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. 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’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree the terms in writing
- Agree who removes waste
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Heaverham
What’s the nearest station to Heaverham?
The closest is Kemsing station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come 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 follow the site rules.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
