Questions from Newingreen
Do you come out to small places like Newingreen?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do you need on the pitch?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, events in Newingreen stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
