Fresh fish and chips in High Halstow
Fish and chip van for events in High Halstow, fried fresh
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it’s school summer fairs and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
At a fête or show near High Halstow, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Summer fêtes in High Halstow have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.

High Halstow: your questions answered
Is High Halstow close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to High Halstow?
Gillingham (Kent) station, about 4.4 miles south of the centre.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
