Fish and chip van for events in Pearson's Green, cooked to order
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it’s village fêtes and summer fairs and church fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural events near Pearson's Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Pearson's Green
What’s the nearest station to Pearson's Green?
The closest is Paddock Wood station, roughly 2 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
