Fish and chip van for events for your event in Sevenscore
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is festivals and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and chips and more.
At a field event near Sevenscore, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Sevenscore events: pitches and permissions
Sevenscore is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Events in Sevenscore are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Sevenscore to Canterbury (12 miles away).
For anyone arriving by train, Thanet Parkway station is about 0.7 miles away. Events in parks such as Sandwich and Pegwell Bay need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
We take the van to events all over the CT12 postcode area and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Sevenscore, we also cover Cliffs End (1 mile east), Way (1 mile north-west), Ebbsfleet (1 mile south), Richborough Port (2 miles south) and Manston (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (4 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles east), Broadstairs (4 miles north-east) and Whitstable (14 miles west).

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree who removes waste
- Display allergens for each stall
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, events in Sevenscore stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
