Fish and chip van for events for your event in Hundridge

Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater club open days and agricultural and country shows.

At a fête or show near Hundridge, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Hundridge: your questions answered

Is Hundridge too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Hundridge from London?

About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Can the van park on grass?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can the van come to our fair?

Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.

How it works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December events in Hundridge lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Getting a price

Send us the date, the address or HP16 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

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.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
