Running an event in Liverton Street
Liverton Street is about 8 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. People in Liverton Street book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Liverton Street is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Liverton Street to Canterbury (about 18 miles away).
Events in parks such as Kiln Wood need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.

Fish and chip van for events for your event in Liverton Street
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater food for volunteers and music and food festivals.
For a village fête or field event near Liverton Street, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December events in Liverton Street lose the light at about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.

Common questions in Liverton Street
Do you trade at school fairs around Liverton Street?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Liverton Street?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
