Common questions in Postling Green
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve near the sea around Postling Green?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Evening events in Postling Green have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
