The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Winter fairs in High Halden are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:45pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in High Halden
Is High Halden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

What else we do in High Halden
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
