Event catering near Kemsley Street
Kemsley Street is about 3 miles south of Gillingham, in Medway. People in Kemsley Street book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve all 68 towns and villages in Medway.

If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Deanwood Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Events in parks such as Levan Strice need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Within about 6 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors normally gather round the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, events in Kemsley Street stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
