Hook Green: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hook Green 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.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you come to Hook Green?

Fish and chip van for events in Hook Green, fried fresh
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. Whether it is festivals and school fairs and sports days, we will put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
Rural events near Hook Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 is fried on the spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
