Fresh fish and chips in Northfleet
Community events around Northfleet
Northfleet is about 5 miles east of Dartford, in Kent. People in Northfleet book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover 922 places in Kent. You can also see our page for London, about 20 miles away.
An event in Northfleet Urban Country Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council. If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Northfleet Technology College, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
Anywhere in DA11, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Lawrance Square, London Road and Marks Square; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Being close to the A2 and A226, Northfleet is simple for us to get to with the van. If your venue is just outside Northfleet, we also cover Painters Ash (1 mile south-west), Springhead (1 mile west), Windmill Hill (1 mile east), Northfleet Green (1 mile south) and Gravesend (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (14 miles south-east), Dartford (5 miles west), Sevenoaks (13 miles south-west), Swanley (8 miles west), Kings Hill (11 miles south) and Foley Park (13 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Bluewater (3.3 miles west) and Stone Castle (3.1 miles west). The countryside around Northfleet includes Chafford Gorges Nature Park and Sawyers Lake.
- Nearby schools include Copperfield Academy (less than half a mile north-east) and Saint George's Church of England School (0.7 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Six Bells pub (within half a mile south-east)
About our fish and chip van for events in Northfleet
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. Typical bookings include sports days and fundraisers, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
School fairs, fêtes and summer events in Northfleet suit a chip van: it draws a crowd and serves hot food to order. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

For event organisers in Northfleet
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Northfleet? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Details of any power or water on site
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Winter fairs in Northfleet are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Northfleet?
Almost every visitor likes fish and chips.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
