Fish and chip van for events for your event in Potters Corner
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. On the menu are curry sauce, chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater agricultural and country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs.
For a village fête or field event near Potters Corner, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Share pitch details
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
For event organisers in Potters Corner

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter fairs in Potters Corner are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:45pm.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.

Questions from Potters Corner
Can you come to a school fair in Potters Corner?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Information about power and water
- Firm, level ground for the pitch

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
