A chip van near Seal
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Fish and chip van for events in Seal, fried fresh
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. For church fêtes and country shows, we can cook cod and chips, chips and mushy peas for your guests.
At a field event near Seal, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. 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 planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Seal
Could you trade in Kemsing Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Seal from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Seal?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does the pitch need?

Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
