Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

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

Common questions in Kearsney
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at school fairs around Kearsney?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Winter fairs in Kearsney are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or CT16 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
