The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. At midsummer, events in Lower Halstow 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.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Questions from Lower Halstow
What’s the nearest station to Lower Halstow?
Newington station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Is Lower Halstow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
