Fish and chip van for events in Peters Village, cooked to order
When there’s hot food, people stay longer. We are often asked to cater sports club events and race days and agricultural and country shows, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For events in a place like Peters Village, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Peters Village questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Peters Village?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Peters Village from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Peters Village is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you do festivals?
Often, yes. Contact us with the details.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Event catering near Peters Village

Church fêtes, at churches such as St Mary's Church, are a natural home for a chip van. If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Halling Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
Wherever your event is in ME1, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home on Greystone Square, Burners Walk and Tusk Walk or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Scarborough (1 mile east), Wouldham (1 mile north), Holborough (1 mile west), Burham (1 mile south-east) and Halling (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Gillingham (5 miles north-east), Chatham (3 miles east), Rochester (4 miles north-east), Rainham (6 miles east), Strood (4 miles north) and Luton (4 miles north-east).

- Local pubs include The Five Bells pub (0.9 miles north-west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
