FAQs for Kingsley
How far is Kingsley from London?
About 42 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Kingsley?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Fish and chip van for events in Kingsley, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. We are often asked to cater community open days and sports days, with chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Kingsley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingsley?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event

What else we do in Kingsley
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Kingsley, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
