Fish and chip van for events in Leysdown-on-Sea, cooked to order
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. We serve mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and horse and dog shows.
At a field event near Leysdown-on-Sea, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Common questions in Leysdown-on-Sea
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Leysdown-on-Sea?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Tell us about the pitch
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- What’s available on the pitch
