Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Old Romney?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
About our fish and chip van for events in Old Romney
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. We are frequently asked to cater charity fundraisers and community events and sports club events and race days, with mushy peas, chips and cod and chips.
A fête near Old Romney might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Old Romney
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
