About our fish and chip van for events in Pegwell
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Typical bookings include community open days and community festivals, with cod and chips, chips and haddock and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Pegwell, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Pegwell
Do you trade at school fairs around Pegwell?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Pegwell from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
- 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
