For a village fête or field event near New Street, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from New Street
Do you come out to small places like New Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to our fair?
Often, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Do you cover New Street?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including New Street and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in New Street?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer events in New Street have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Details of any power or water on site
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
