We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. Whether it is food for volunteers and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

A chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why Moorstock hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Events in Moorstock and across Kent
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer events in Moorstock have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Share pitch details
Put bins near the queue.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
