The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Have other stalls for special diets
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- What’s available on the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
